About
Vera Svava (B. CA) is a hardwood and steel-based sculptor working in New York, NY.
Vera Svava is fascinated by the microscopic world’s rules and laws. Whether from the chemistry of elements on the atomic scale or how gravity operates on a molecular scale, Svava brings these concepts and actions of the micro and applies them to the macro world. By isolating and rendering the forces applied and belonging to particles such as electro-magnetism, energy, gravity, or the strong and weak nuclear forces, Svava uses scale to their aid, enlarging the action occurring in the microscopic world to be placed in ours. They question how people interact with these forces, and how humans can connect to beyond when we can see. Svava’s main focus is to capture a moment of moving engery and isolate it, allowing thier audience to view engery in a form of stillness.
