In her latest collection, Alena presents a stunning collection of varied media: notably, sculpture, installation, paintings and drawings. Dolina places real-world people, places, and events alongside depictions of utopian futures as a way to question our perception of perfecting the future.

The entire installation functions as a sort of city center, using Alena’s hometown of Zavidovići as a broad blueprint, and gradually revealing inconsistencies and moments of uncertainty. Incorporating print media, set design, surrealistic elements, allusions to folklore, and parallel universes, the project examines the disconnect between past projected futures and current realities, through predominantly imagined space. Rich in ubiquitous symbolism, Dolina portrays images of an ideal era that transcends cultures and time periods throughout history.
