I sculpt because form is the language my thoughts take. My work lives in the space between presence and becoming, where bodies are grounded in material yet reaching toward something manifest.

In my practice, I gravitate toward the vertical gesture because it embodies a fundamental paradox: weight moving toward lightness, gravity toward release.

Skyborn (2025)

Aleksandra Scepanovic
plaster and steel, 110 x 46 x 32 in (279.4 x 116.84 x 81.28 cm) $2000

'Skyborn' rises over nine feet, a slender plaster apparition holding stillness and tension in its open-armed ascent. Its plaster skin presses against a steel core like soil shaped by wind, anchored to the earth while remaining attuned to the sky. Neither purely figurative nor purely abstract, 'Skyborn' is vertical, attenuated, and suspended between states. Occupying the threshold between body and aspiration, rooted yet always straining elsewhere, the sculpture reads less like a body and more like a presence that has borrowed one.

'Skyborn' is a quiet negotiation with that paradox, a testament to persistence rather than heroism. Its scale and posture invite a physical encounter, fostering a dialogue between viewer and object about ambition, vulnerability, and the gravitational pull of lived experience.
