Lena Zak (Czechia, 1994) is an artist who explores the relationship between opposing forces and how they connect to each other. She examines how we create meaning through contrasts such as light against darkness, chaos against order, and self in relation to others. While this binary thinking shapes how we understand the world, she believes it also limits us when we see these oppositions as absolute truths. Her work challenges the idea that differences must be complete and unchanging. Rather than providing direct answers or literal representations, her art creates contemplative spaces that embrace uncertainty and emotional depth. Her work gives voice to internal experiences and unspoken realities that often have no place in black-and-white thinking.
Through this approach, her work becomes a quiet advocate for in-between states and represents an inner landscape that cannot be easily categorized or defined.
