'Ancients Lost' continues Dina’s exploration of conservation, consumerism, and the fragile beauty of the natural world. In this series, she delves into the remnants of lost cultures and forgotten rituals — civilizations that once lived in harmony with nature, now reimagined through a modern lens.
Blending natural materials such as deer antlers and fur with resin, wire, and contemporary adornments, Dina creates sculptural forms that embody both reverence and decay. These works extend her practice of hybrid surrealism and vintage salvage, where discarded objects and organic fragments are reborn as hauntingly beautiful creatures and relics.
Each piece serves as a reflection on what humanity has lost — a delicate balance between the sacred and the synthetic, the remembered and the forgotten — offering a glimpse into the beautiful unseen worlds that once were, and the fragile future that remains.
