A sculpture of the melting painting that symbolize the concept of the impermanence of life. Understanding of the fact that this state of things is the reality of life leads to the sadness, while this feeling in combination with the cause have a special name in japanese culture - mono no aware (MNA).
The artist aims to restart and actualize the viewer’s perception of the sadness of the loss of the past to enhance the joy of the present and change the optics. The viewer is allowed to see the space through the prism of "mono no aware": the works are transparent, and fundamentally tuned to the tone of the environment and the audience's empathy.

Om konstnären

Elen Alien (b. 1990, Ukraine) is a staunch cosmopolitan. In her works, she combines elements of different times and cultural communities, thus pointing to the absence of the need for separation, and labeling, to the fact that together all people and nature form a common organism. The art of Elen Alien expresses the unity of the sacred, natural and aesthetic, in their striving for a common goal. Her research unfolds at the points of contact between nature and humans, again addressing questions that people have tried in vain for centuries to find answers to with the help of science and technology. In her artistic practice, the artist tries to "preserve forever" the elusive beauty of the moment. Combining the tenderness of flowers and the hardness of epoxy resin, she reveals the ambivalence of glorifying the beauty of imperfection and contrasts art with digital immortality.
