In the summer of 2011, colleague of mine sculptor Natasa Jelovac came up to me with this project she was working on and asked for my assistance. She was supposed to make this stylized volleyball sculpture, 100cm in diameter for exhibition dedicated to European Volleyball Championship for Women with which she needed my help. She provided me with appropriate information and drawings, as well as materials from the list I gave her required for this job after which I proceeded with realization of sculpture she requested. Sculpture was afterwards exhibited in Usce Shopping Center in Belgrade.
Special thanks to Natasa Jelovac for this great opportunity and experience, and dear friend of mine professor Zoran Ivanovic who recommended me to Natasa.
