SYNOPSIS
Simčič's Fair Vida did not radically sacrifice either her own life or that of her son for a world more just. The author is not pushing her characters along the edge of a hill into ruin, but is rather saving them from a dead-end situation by means of a will that combines a certain yearning and struggle. She has not pessimistically given in to fate , but rather actively, fiercely, and courageously stands up to the given situation. By means of her artworks Simčič fights in a very unique way when, as an artist and mother impersonating Fair Vida, she walks, with her child in her arms, through the meadow of yearning towards a more just and better world. (Alenka Spacal)
