This includes universal access to modern affordable and reliable energy, increasing global percentage of renewable energy, doubling the improvement in energy efficiency as well as promoting access to research, technology and investments in clean energy infrastructure, and expanding and upgrading energy services for developing countries. nExhibit “Obelisk – Prayer For Lost Objects”n The sun has extremely important influences on our planet and plays an important role in the need for energy. People love the sun and truly appreciate that without the sun there would be no life on earth. The piece entitled “Obelisk-Prayer For Lost Objects” used to present her work as part of the international project “Floating Gravities”, situated in the area of the Smederevo Fortress, was created by joining sheets of metal in the shape of an obelisk. The project was launched in May-June, 2022 in cooperation with the company HBIS GROUP Serbia in Smederevo. Ten artists

gathered under a unique concept of creating sculptures with the objective of strengthening, supporting and encouraging the development of cultural cooperation between Serbia, China and Montenegro. Obelisk is a symbol of the Sun, and resembles the historical cult of the raised stone on which the Sun “rests” upon sunset, personifying the upright prayer book that connects heaven and earth. The exhibit was created by joining sheets of metal in the shape of an obelisk. Following the framework of Ivana’s typical work through form, the metal plates are joined into a recognizable sculptural figure, which is then left to the course of time to further develop in its evolving, dynamic and variable existence. The poetics of the work is based on the fact that the processual degradation of the material oscillates minimally, but that the product is subsequently challenged through different ambient conditions in which the sculpture is positioned.
