Pauzirane čestice Lipe, 2022. / Suspended Lipa Particles, 2022

Pauziranim česticama Lipe Marina Rajšić se nadovezuje na prethodni rad u kojem je prah osušenog, samljevenog lišća lipe nanosila na različite javne prostore u naselju Lipa, jednom od nekoliko mjesta u Europi u potpunosti uništenih tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata. Unatoč velikom stradanju i činjenici da je zamalo svo stanovništvo tijekom rata bilo ubijeno, a naselje spaljeno, lipljanska zajednica uspjela se ponovno izgraditi i obnoviti na novim temeljima tolerancije i mira. Šireći prah stabla lipe, kao svojevrsnog simbola priče njegove obnove, autorica širi regeneracijski potencijal samog naselja. U radu otkupljenom za fundus Muzeja Suvremene Umjetnosti u Zagrebu autorica miješa prah lišća lipe u smjesu izomalta, stvarajući maleni kubus koji je postojan i čvrst na sobnoj temperaturi, ali je razgradiv u vodi i višim temperaturama, spremajući tako prah i regeneracijski potencijal za korištenje po potrebi u budućnosti.
Suspended Lipa Particles are Marina Rajšić's continuation of her previous work in which she applied the powder of dried, ground linden leaves to various public spaces in the settlement of Lipa, one of the few places in Europe completely destroyed during World War II. Despite great suffering and the fact that almost the entire population was killed during the war, and the settlement was burned down, the Lipa community managed to rebuild and renew itself on new foundations of tolerance and peace. By spreading the powder of the linden tree, as a reminder of its revival, the author conveys the regenerative potential of the settlement itself. In the work purchased for the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, the author mixes linden leaf powder into an isomalt mixture, creating a small cube that is stable and solid at room temperature but is degradable in water and at higher temperatures, thus storing the powder and regenerative potential for use as needed in the future.
