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 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. She can be found online at aleksandrasculpture.com.
