She was far ahead of her times and fought bravely to maintain her individuality. She used her art to assert her individual voice and to communicate with her children in a very unique way.

Although her stories were principally inspired by Slavic mythology and written in the form of a fairytale, they are full of metaphors that speak about family life, relationships between parents and their children, and relationships between men and women which are relevant even today to my generation.

The story of Regoch and Kosjenka has meant a lot to me ever since I first read it as a little girl. It is an incredibly beautiful allegory about female strength, character, intuition and love. It reveals the exceptional and unspoken way we women look at the world.

As a little girl I read the story over and over again, and I decided to make its message known once I grew up. My animation is my way of portraying the distinctly female emotion of universal love and intuitive peacefulness I felt while reading Brlić Mažuranić's story.
