The artist says, "This is a photo of my grandmother, Marija Blazanin, taken in Zagreb, Croatia, back when it was still part of Yugoslavia. I’ve taken thousands of photographs in my career but I consider this one my best. It was as if all the elements agreed to participate in the same instant. The right film, the right lens, perfect light and of course, totally spontaneous act by my grandma."
