Resurrection -
The cycles of works by the artist Teodora Juric-Miljus, entitled Resurrection and Life Cycle are to be interpreted by referring to theoretical assumptions of Wing and Blofeld on the all-embracing unity of opposites, of Heraclitus on eternal fire as the prime cause-mover of all changes, and Branka Arsic on "good" and "bad" encounters (collisions) of bodies. Wing and Blofeld emphasize that there are two basic laws governing change in the universe: the law of the unity of opposites and the law of periodicity. The law of the unity of opposites states that any thing or phenomenon contains within itself its opposites. The law of periodicity is manifested through cycles and rhythms such as the seasons, times of day, stadia of development and character formation in individuals. The opinion that everything in the world comes into being, exists and disappears due to mutual influence of opposites, which by its conflicts bring everything to harmony, was also developed by Heraclitus. "Every thing is constantly changing and every change is the middle point between two opposing states or the point of transition in which opposing phenomena touch, out of which nature creates harmony". In fluid (eternal) fire Heraclitus found the basic prime mover. Fire is soul as life-giving principle, without which organic body would be the same as inorganic one, it would be incapable of motion and life. However, motion and life of the body to a large extent depend on "good" and "bad" encounters (collisions) met by the body in its existence. Bad encounters are those making the body weak and ineffective. A good encounter increases the power (of action) of the body, it brings intense feelings to the body. And the more it feels, the more it perfects itself. Thus the works created at the beginning of the Resurrection cycle show bad encounters of the artist's body with other bodies, whose effect resulted in their separation.
In the desire to renew and make up for the lost (dissipating) energy, the artist's body gets tranquilized giving in to the processes of hibernation, by which the body at once protects itself, then the artist's body returns to the beginning of a "new" life cycle, but now considerably changed, with a new quantity of energy stored. Gradation of the positive change of the artist's body is shown by the fire motif, which in the beginning of the cycle, in works Warming Up, Phoenix and XXX, is presented as smoldering flame, to burst at the end of the cycle in works Total Confusion and Eternal Light, into irruptive cosmic mass (star). Likewise, fire gradation is followed by gradation in the presentation of the artist's body, which from immovable sitting position turns to a moving standing position, i.e. from hobbled attachment to the earth to liberating aspiration toward the sky. The emphasis on positive change of one's own body (identity) from the unconscious to conscious state of self-assertion, is also present in the works in the cycle Life Cycle. The works Sleep, Awakening, Raising and Awareness show change of the artist's body – identity, manifesting through the periodical cycles and rhythms, such as the seasons, times of day, growth cycles of plants and animals. Beside presentations based on periodicity, works in both cycles, both in the from and in the content, bring presentations based on the law of opposites. In terms of content, it is a fusion of opposites presented through motivs of "negative" encounter of the artist's body with another body, as well as in the presentation of motifs of "positive" chaotically eruptive cosmic mass. In terms of form, it is a fusion of opposites presented through coloured relations of dark and light, as well as through the unusual use of shades of blue and red colours, with which the artist painted the phases-stadia in the change of her own body. Painting her own body by opposite coloured coats, the artist has produced a change in the understanding of the presentation of the nude, because the static (traditional) presentation of passive female body, that was still an object of viewing, has now become dynamic (modern) active presentation of the body of the artist herself, which is at the same time both the subject and the object of viewing.
