The Rise

artwork

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.

No Calls, No Emails

by Lawrence Bridges

You sleep and wonder, what are these days? They seem so
innocent, but the core remains forbidden. Is it an era beginning
in decrescendo? I rise and bend my red hinges remembering the
speedy clothes I used to wear to set the pace, responsible only to
myself, not photographs. Over before it started—this great
online pose. The next thoughts extend into the happy land of
coincidence, like waving from an apartment window from a
party to another party. I live in Mightaswell, Pop. 1.
