About this artwork
In Japanese culture, a subtle concept captures this borderline of joy and sadness -“mono no aware”, which means a state of slight anguish from the realization of the actual impermanence of life. This capacious idiom served as the name for Elen Alien's project. Fallen sakura leaves symbolize this sadness in Japanese culture. Being collected by the artist not in Japan, but in Stockholm, they express the position of a cosmopolitan in her work, a fundamental…
rejection of the imposed cultural identity, separation and labeling.
In an abstract drawing woven from petals, there is a frozen moment of perception, and contemplation of the falling leaves of sakura. An experience fixed in a material object in an attempt to preserve an elusive beauty is protected from the barbaric intrusion of technologies and virtualities. The artwork is mirroring and is fundamentally tuned to the tone of the environment and the audience's empathy. The viewer is invited to watch himself through the filter of MNA.
