About this person
Bašić followed up the Sea Organ with another work on the promenade, just metres away, called the Greeting to the Sun. The circular work is powered by the sun and lights up with random patterns and colours. In 2010, Bašić created a memorial to firemen killed in 2007 fighting a wildfire. The work -- the Field of Crosses -- is a set of walls shaped like crosses on the island of Kornat.
