“Sentiment” is a thought-provoking piece divided into two parts, each telling a unique story. On one side, the mural features the backs of an array of little children’s toys, evoking a sense of innocence and nostalgia.

On the other side, an older man is depicted buying items at the local flea market. This striking duality seems to symbolise the passage of time and the sentimental value attached to objects, inviting viewers to ponder the concept of sentimentality and the emotional significance we attach to various items.

Drawing inspiration from the Hrelic flea market in his hometown, as well as Balkan flea markets in general, Lonac’s storytelling mural “Sentiment” reminds us of the significance we attribute to the objects and experiences that shape our lives.
