Description

“Art can be beautiful and also have a statement”, Vavilinia says. For Alena, the Butterfly Series, and the highlight piece “Against the Stream” emphasize that statement. In her cross-dimensional world, the viewer is invited to stop. Here, observing nature and beauty is a radical act. “There is no need to follow blindly. You need to switch logic, see what is going on for yourself. To go against the stream is to go against violence and war. It is to take an alternative path of presence and enjoyment.”
