===Idea===
Defining virtual means giving it an attribute of “non physical”, and stripped of such, it’s existence it’s not measured with physical world. I became interested in materializing virtual as if it was part of the world which it doesn’t belong to. I started exploring menus, windows and applications which I see on my computer and which exist equally as the physical things surrounding me.  
In this work I want to deal with idea of non places and the way they are defined by signs and loss of identity. I am interested in the way that signs predict the human behavior and my concentration goes into their flow of thoughts. I am interested into exploring if today-s overflow of information and globalization which made signs even more readable and our minds and actions more predictable.
In my work I am creating this antinomy of virtual being physical and being placed in physical world. I am interested in this paradox of materializing something which by its nature does not exist in such form. By finding the places which correspond to each of them, their implementation becomes natural as it can be.
I want to interrupt this places with creations of signs which should stop the usual flow which happens there and maybe have effect in retaining identity or sense of it.  
My idea is presented through medium of photography. What happens in the frames of photography creates world for itself and for that reason it is the perfect medium for presenting something which does not have physical form in its original existence.
This idea for now is in experimental phase since it needs to be narrowed by the unity of signs thematic.
 
===Final===
I want to create signs which will reflect my idea and my final work will be photography because it carries a lot of information, it is manipulative and believable. Signs will be printed and put on the places and than photographed.

===Development===
From previous idea and photos emerged new approach of combining virtual world with non virtual. Most of the viewers were able to Identify mostly with the photo of "loading" sign which lead me to think of our dependence of technology, computers and internet and how it is integrated in our non lives to that point that it seems real. Partially it is also photography fault which is today mostly used as digital medium connected to computer and internet technology. I wonder how will it change if photography becomes materialized.

Defining virtual means giving it an attribute of “non physical”, and stripped of such, it’s existence it’s not measured with physical world. I became interested in materializing virtual as if it was part of the world which it doesn’t belong to. I started exploring menus, windows and applications which I see on my computer and which exist equally as the physical things surrounding me. In my work I am creating this antinomy of virtual being physical and being placed in physical world. I am interested in this paradox of materializing something which by its nature does not exist in such form. By finding the places which correspond to each of them, their implementation becomes natural as it can be. My idea is presented through medium of photography. What happens in the frames of photography creates world for itself and for that reason it is the perfect medium for presenting something which does not have physical form in its original existence.
