Ana Prvački began painting watercolors every day when the Covid19 pandemic locked down the world. Her brush captures both internal emotional landscapes and external realities as society grapples with upheaval. Each painting becomes a form of therapy, revealing Prvački's playful wit while addressing urgent conversations about history, ecology, sexuality, technology, self care and mental health. The collection spans the complex emotions of recent years, offering an improvisational response to a world turned upside down. Prvački's visual journey encourages viewers to recognize shared humanity and discover hope in unexpected places. Zadie Smith contributes an essay to this exploration of creative resilience during crisis.
