'Imagined Lifeform in a Reality Not Too Far Away II' is an exemplary sculpture by Lana Haga, representing the product of her transformative artistic practice, employing acrylic and epoxy on post-industrial plastic to craft her distinctive and often stalactite-like colorful sculptures. In the role of an alchemist, Haga masterfully challenges the inherent attributes of her materials, embarking on a journey of profound transformation. Through her work, Haga undertakes a contemplative exploration of the constraints, ramifications, and the immense potential inherent in human material intervention.
This artwork, 'Imagined Lifeform in a Reality Not Too Far Away II,' delves deeply into the human fascination with space exploration and the notion of colonization, a theme particularly pertinent in a time marked by socio-political upheaval. It serves as a powerful reflection on our inclination to shift our focus, engaging in wishful thinking and daydreams, all the while escaping to a realm where the challenges of our world cease to exist.
