““I seek to create emotional sensations and challenge the viewer while challenging myself. I am interested in the concept of installation that does not ignore the sculptural object. I experiment using various materials that help me express myself in a more rounded and subtle approach. During this past year I’ve worked with paraffin, salt, hemp, jute bag and plaster. I also work with objects that I have found or searched for, and manipulated.” (Alexandra Sans)
