A tree stands at the beginning of everything. Its roots reach into the dark water below, its crown dissolves into a sky crowded with seeds, eyes, and small burning stars. Around it, bodies move through the blue—some climbing, some falling, some simply learning the shape of their own wings.
On the right panel, a woman emerges from the trunk itself, red and luminous, as if the wood had finally decided to speak. Đurović paints the tree as the oldest witness: patient, rooted, aware of every life that has passed beneath it.
This is an ode sung in blue, in root, in rising sap.
