NEWBORN is here. As we were all lined up trying to unveil this amazing sculpture in downtown Prishtina, people were anticipating its appearance throughout the day. Thousands of people lined up from early on just to wait up until 6:30 in the afternoon to witness this great moment in history.
Michael Buble’s “Feeling Good” started playing as everyone awaited the climax. I personally thought that people would respect the nicely lined-up barricades along the sides, however as soon as the helium-filled yellow balloons flew way up in Prishtina’s cold night sky - the masses jumped over the fences just to sign the letters with black permanent markers. Not even three-meter long letters could stop people from climbing way up and making their mark. As far as I go - I placed a mark symbolizing my love for someone (let me keep that personal).
For me NEWBORN represents not only the independence, but my own rebirth as well. I feel refreshed by this event and I know many touched upon this chilling effect - Rebirth & Resurrection.
Many years from now we will look back on this day as the day that marked our new beginning. A beginning that proved to be an amazing feat for all.
I salute all those who participated one way or another. I was as close as I could ever get to the Prime Minister and the President of Kosova through the NEWBORN sculpture. It’s a amazing rush!
