Alma Hasanović, Pink Paws, Textile Design, mentor: prof. art. Koraljka Kovač Dugandžić, The author dedicated this collection of works to Mia, her loyal companion, source of inspiration, and an inexhaustible well of love. Through a series of photographs and collages, the audience is invited to step into Mia’s world. Using complex collage techniques and hand embroidery, the works explore intimate moments between the owner and the dog. Each piece tells its own story, conveying emotion, memory, or a moment seen from Mia’s perspective or through the relationship with her.

Nika Jurković, My Fluffies, Textile Design, mentor: prof. art. Koraljka Kovač Dugandžić, When the author found out that a small dog would join the family, she leaned on the table and asked, "Who's going to take care of that?" However, as soon as Lu became part of the family, things changed – she quickly grew fond of dogs, and today she has two that mean a great deal to her. The aim of this collection is to use embroidery techniques, machine sewing, and wool to depict the diversity and love that pets bring into the author's life.

Katarina Kovačević, Quirky Diva, Textile Design, mentor: prof. art. Koraljka Kovač Dugandžić, The cat in the photographs, creatively named Old Cat, has two contrasting personalities. On one hand, she is a picky diva with high standards and expectations, clearly expressing discontent when something doesn’t suit her. On the other hand, she is a playful and silly cat who loves chasing her own tail and rolling in the dust. Through embroidery interventions in vibrant colors applied to the cat’s calm and confident expressions in the photographs, the contrast between the cat’s dual personalities is portrayed.

Laura Vuković, Aura Rosea, Textile Design, mentor: prof. art. Koraljka Kovač Dugandžić, The author uses cherished photographs of her pet – pictures in which the pet appears sweet, funny, affectionate, or simply beautiful – and arranges them on A3 paper in an attempt to depict her pet’s personality as closely as possible. The pink color represents the author’s aura, an aura that her cat, Cicka, has also adopted over the years. With a playful, almost childlike aesthetic and threads of various colors running through the works, the author illustrates her pet’s cheerful side. The graphics, created in combination with collage, represent the author's artistic expression, rooted in graphic drawing and collage. The works describe the bizarre nature of the relationship with a pet, placing the animal within the narrative the author tells through graphic lines.

Iva Želimorski, Yellow-Blue World, Textile Design, mentor: prof. art. Koraljka Kovač Dugandžić, These works portray the wrinkled snout of a shar pei named Marfi, who stubbornly avoids the camera. The photographs, taken completely by accident, are adorned with a combination of hand embroidery and acrylic techniques. To allow Marfi to also enjoy the works in his own way, yellow and blue shades – colors dogs are known to perceive – were used.

Višnja Barbara Cerovec, A Moment in Threads, Fashion Theory and Culture, mentor: prof. art. Koraljka Kovač Dugandžić, This work is a synthesis of technology and craftsmanship, moment and tactility. It explores the relationship between emotional connection and geometric forms, merging feelings with abstract structures. Thread interventions on a photograph of a cat artistically represent the layered bond between humans and animals, and the beauty of accepting our imperfections through a look, silence, play, or comfort. Threads create a geometric network of vertical black and horizontal primary-colored lines (red, yellow, blue), referencing the structural principles of neoplasticism. Squares filled with yellow and green threads within the network mark emotional connection fields, conceptually mapping the interaction between humans, animals, and nature.

Danijel Čerković, The Flowers Are Watching You – Photography, Textile and Press Studs, Fashion Theory and Culture, mentor: prof. art. Koraljka Kovač Dugandžić, Minimal interventions and photographs of the Trešnjevka neighborhood aim to mystify the immediate surroundings by transforming them into a shared new home, where everyday objects come to life as pets. The work The Flowers Are Watching You is part of a personal research into design for children and various methods of “bringing to life” the inanimate aspects of daily life. In search of a language that speaks to both adults and children, the work explores the points of overlap between childlike and adult experience.
