Eilean Eland’s semi-abstract female forms tell stories of resilience and empowerment, portraying women who stand strong in an uncertain world. Her work explores themes of personal identity and self-belief, aiming to embody the lived experiences of women from a distinctly female perspective.

Unlike traditional representations shaped by the male gaze, Eilean’s figures arise from an internal, subjective understanding of womanhood. They reflect the inner realities of being a woman, informed by lived experience rather than external observation. Her sculptures stand as witnesses to life’s events, with symbolic agency that conveys both the power to act and the capacity to observe and reflect, even in circumstances where action is constrained.

Through her art, Eilean makes a powerful statement about the complexities of the female experience, blending strength, introspection, and the enduring capacity to bear witness.
