Alexandra Mein - 'Diffraction'

Alexandra Mein's sculptures are characterized by an encounter between organic forms and pure, crystalline structures, with echoes of historical sculptures. They seem to have grown out of a chair or a stool, or to have sprung from a piece of marble. Their distinctive unfinished aspect reinforces the sensation of movement and gives the viewer a greater freedom of interpretation.

The complexity of the human being, which cannot be captured in a single explanation, lives in her work. These sculptures can be seen as crumbling or growing, anthropomorphic or zoomorphic, neither feminine nor masculine, they vacillate between different states.

In essence, her work speaks of her fascination with the human being and its behavior, towards itself, others and its environment. Is it an interaction, a dance and/or a fight between our desires, our emotions and our reason?
