Mixed-media sculpture “Becoming” (2026) by Elena Kraft

This sculpture represents a moment of pause before change. The artist has created a human figure as an angel—someone who bears their wings not as a gift, but as a result of lived experience. The materials and textures reflect time, endurance, and emotional weight. For the artist, this work is about standing between what holds us back and what allows us to rise. It is about strength that grows quietly through vulnerability and perseverance.
