I am a jeweled fortress within, ​a beacon of renewal.

A treasure trove of resilience, ​I reside in the sacred chamber.

In sands of time, ancient souls, ​those builders of dreams in ​desert's embrace, called me ​Imsety.

Under starlit skies of their ​beliefs, I rise out of my ​canopic jar, as my divine duet ​of spinal columns whispers tales ​untold, a dance of strength, a ​story of blood as old as time.

I am the guardian of balance, ​with rivers of life’s fluids ​curving up, a whispering stream, ​a pearl of nourishing grace.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Wholeness through Fracture: Sculpting the Human ​Condition

Aleksandra’s current collection of sculptures ​explores the multifaceted nature of the human ​condition. Through the use of clay, she aims to ​capture the essence of a displaced identity, ​presenting the theme in a way that is both ​enigmatic and surreal.

The sculptures are designed to evoke a sense of ​wholeness through their fractured forms, ​symbolizing the strength and resilience found in ​vulnerability and imperfection.

BIOGRAPHY

Aleksandra Scepanovic's journey to sculpture began in ​socialist Yugoslavia in the 1980s. Her professional path ​traversed the realms of archaeology, war zones during the ​1990s Balkans conflict, and real estate peppered with ​interior design in NYC. Celebrating the bravery of ​continuation, snippets from her past inspire Aleksandra's ​artistic spirit.

Today, Aleksandra collaborates with a collective of ​sculptors in her studio in Woodstock, NY ​(@atelierwdstk_hudsonvalley). Her sculptural work ​underscores Aleksandra's experience of migratory ​displacement and an enduring quest for a true likeness of ​identity, suspended between war, peace, and culture.

Aleksandra's tumultuous journey toward ​sculpture began in socialist Yugoslavia ​in the 1980s. Shaping her voice and ​perspective was a list of varied career ​trajectories, which deposited her to ​archaeological sites, war zones of the ​Balkan conflicts in the 1990s, and ​interior design and real estate fields ​in New York City at the onset of the ​2000s.

Today, snippets from her past inspire ​Aleksandra's artistic spirit as she ​collaborates with a collective of ​sculptors in her studio in Woodstock, ​NY (@atelierwdstk_hudsonvalley). ​Through her art, Aleksandra celebrates ​the bravery of continuation, the joy of ​new explorations, and the thrill of a ​quiet life in the tranquil Hudson ​Valley.

BIOGRAPHY

ARTIST ​STATEMENT

Aleksandra Scepanovic questions ​our innermost by engaging the ​boundary between form and ​expectation. Her builds are strong ​physical preambles to wonder and ​potentiality, arrested in change. ​Enrolling the form into enduring ​transformation, Ms. Scepanovic’s ​forms give license to the mind to ​absorb context and effect. Her ​pursuits compare rational forms ​with intuition and provoke ​illuminating journeys to mystery.

Aleksandra’s sculptural work ​underscores her experience of ​migratory displacement, her ​enduring quest for a true likeness ​of identity suspended in between ​war, peace, and culture.
