Elana Mann
Elana Mann focuses her artwork to have a deeper meaning. She wanted to use her sculpture in an expansive way. When Elana wasn't studying in school, her focus was to bring attention to mental and physical health issues. Elana worked as an escort for Planned parenthood and hosted educational workshops for eating disorders. During her time at CalArts, she was sexually harassed by one of her professors. Elana talks about how she didn't know how she was able to go long without mentioning this harassment to anyone. From her looking back at this moment she realized that when women speak out, it has a negative effect on them. instead of being helped, they're being pushed aside. With this being said, Elana took focus on her work to spread issues that needed a closer look at.
