Maria Maretti: TRADICIJA / TRADITION

A very simple and effective depiction of the conflict between tradition and modern understanding.
The fabric of tradition is ripped here by the explosive breakthrough of the new ideas. They are crowding in front of the newly made 'entrance' to the red, traditional zone of the rules, authorities and unconditional obedience which are FORBIDDEN to question.

Ovo je pitanje o našim ograničenjima, slijepom vjerovanju u naučene obrasce i pravila ponašanja i naše nesvijesti o stvarnom stanju  vlastitoga bića…
