Aleksandra Scepanovic is a sculptor whose work delves into the complexities of migratory displacement, identity, and the tension between opposing states—war and peace, destruction and restoration, chaos and order. Drawing from her lived experiences, Aleksandra's sculptures reflect this intricate balance. Aleksandra's sculptures challenge innermost perceptions, engaging with the boundary between form and expectation. Her work harnesses fragmented shapes, inviting viewers to compare rational forms with intuition and reflect on the interplay between presence and absence, wholeness and fracture. Through her exploration of transformation, her sculptures stand as strong preambles to wonder, offering space for contemplation and self-discovery. Today, Aleksandra creates in her studio in Woodstock, New York, channeling the echoes of her life into her art.
