Some people are irreplaceable. All through Croatia that person seems to be the same. Dida. The bond between grandsons and grandfathers runs deep here. Seldom can you find a man who doesn't have fond memories of working the fields or the fishing nets with his grandfather so that it seems like here the generations are bound by grandparents caring for their childrens' children. Rough skinned, browned by the sun on the hills or the glare of the waves, they are not soft men, but they are loved. Too little do we think of them while they linger, and too much once they're gone. Pictured are Rade Sliskovic's hands (2024) holding Neretva figs in Metkovic, Croatia. Give this print as a gift to commemorate the grandfathers in your life. Show more
