Portrait of Concentration camp Prisoner

Vida Jocic, as a detainee of the Nazi Auschwitz camp, survived the suffering and martyrdom of thousands of unfortunates. Scenes of horror engraved in her memory remained alive throughout her life. Hence, through sculptures reminiscent of a camp, but not considering it their duty to their companions, it is already more unforgettable in the sense of a general warning to human evil. And this portrait of the camp inmates, as well as other portraits, ie. bronze heads from this theme, is in fact a universal stylized drunken figure with a sad look, more an archetype of some exotic civilization than a contemporary - a camp sufferer. The artist introduced a hidden emotion into the "easy and bearable" form of the human head "without grimaces and cramps", where the primordial existential struggle was reduced to a kind of surreal serenity.
