| The Fortress inspires him to think about eternity and transience alike. Immovable and indestructible, challenging the ravages of time, it has become the City's symbol. The Eternity in which it undersigned with its historic importance as a military building, with the beauty of its form, standing on the steep rock, with its impressive construction skill. Stories about people who were building it, living on it, passing through it, falling in love there, making love there, are the imprints of the past telling about transience - Boško Ševo is completely sure about it. At the same time, he cannot forget many people he knew, those who left large parts of their lives on the Fortress to finally join the eternal peace of the Fortress constructors and defenders. Among them was Jovan Lukić, the man who took Boško to the Fortress. Going backwards, following the history of Boško's studio, we can find out that, before him, it was that very Jovan Lukić who had lived and worked in the studio, and before this man, there had been some students, and long, long ago the building used to house horse-stables.This only confirms Boško's theory of the circle (Art Circle) as a symbol of eternal motion, of inevitable transience and brevity of human life, and of the eternal character of an oeuvre one leaves behind. |
