In Shattered Moments Gathering, Elena Zelenina transforms broken ceramic plates into sculptural garments worn by a group of faceless yet deeply present figures. Each shard is a fragment of a lived moment, once whole, then broken, now reimagined into a new form. The work draws from two decades of personal history, culminating in a chapter of profound change, and affirms that beauty can emerge from rupture. Layered with paint, lace, metal, and the glint of ceramic glaze, the surface captures both fragility and resilience. The tactile depth invites the viewer to linger, while the composition speaks to collective strength, memory, and renewal. A deeply autobiographical work that offers universal resonance, it holds a place both as a singular statement piece and as part of a broader narrative in contemporary mixed media art.
