Two Palms on the Island of Happiness

/About

This fantasy-sculpture merges a sci-fi narrative with personal homage. The central figure, a suited astronaut modeled after sculptor Ratko Petrić, stands on a flying saucer-shaped fountain, backed by two palm trees — symbols of both utopia and solitude. Installed at the Technical Museum in Zagreb, the piece ironizes the grandeur of public monuments while paying a heartfelt tribute to artistic curiosity and imaginary exploration.
