To Alex

This is a long distance gift to my friend Alex. Alex is a talented artist. The kind that made our high school teachers turn their heads in disbelief, some with approval, some in shock and awe. It was always fun to see their reactions on the day the art teacher was displaying students art in the hallways. The younger teachers were almost always excited and chirped excitedly, with crazy grins on their faces, happy that someone actually had the guts to do what everyone wanted. The older just mumbled under their breath, astonished, positively or less so, I guess we’ll never know.

When Alex screamed on her FB page: Why no one told me Olja Ivanjicki died?! I almost slapped myself, how could I forget she would want to know that. So I recently went to Pancevo (born there, but I never lived there), my uncle showed me a statue and said Olja Ivanjicki did that, and I instantly thought of Alex. So for now here are the pictures, dear, and when you get back, I can take you there and we can touch it, dance around it, sit on the bench in front of it and watch it while eating icecream or any other more traditional Serbian food, or we can kneel and bow or dance around it, or simply act like normal people. To you, dear friend! Miss ya:****
