Part Two: The City of Shadows
This part unfolds in Belgrade — a city of contrasts, where stillness and movement coexist. The warmth of memory fades into muted tones, reflected in the city’s brutalist architecture. Though the forms differ from the block-like panelki of Sterlitamak, certain lines, textures, and colors awaken the same echoes of childhood. The cat now sits still, its movement replaced by silence, as if time has slowed. Buildings rise and dissolve into one another — concrete, glass, and shadow merging into a dreamscape between reality and reflection. Here, the chase quiets, and what was once pursuit becomes contemplation — a fragile pause between running and belonging.
