Ana Elizabet: Cardboard Sculptures
Ana Elizabet, an academic sculptor, has found a uniquely challenging and symbolic medium in cardboard - an everyday packaging material that society usually treats as worthless waste. Precisely because of its underestimated role, she chooses cardboard as the ideal medium for transformation, turning it into sculpture that questions shifting paradigms and values in contemporary life.
With strong environmental awareness, Ana Elizabet works only with biodegradable materials, sealing the pores with natural resins to give each piece longevity and protection. Her forming process moves in the opposite direction of wood’s natural state, allowing cardboard to pass into a new existence and symbolic paradigm.
The sculptures reveal their own “tissue” - exposed, visible edges and interiors, without any masks or make-up. In this way Ana Elizabet creates works that embody transformation itself and mirror our collective consciousness through a material we too often overlook.
