"Up" features a cascade of abstract forms that draw the eye upward, in a gentle yet persistent climb.

Kralovic's use of relief printing allows for a soft interplay between the foreground and background, suggesting depth and the potential for movement within stillness.

With "Down Flow," Kralovic explores the fluidity of motion in a vertical descent. The monoprint technique lends a unique texture to each line, echoing the singular journey of water flowing downward. The choice of colors and their overlay creates an impression of continuous movement, each stream a narrative of descent captured in a moment.
