At every stitch of thread, Zohra Opoku‘s I Have Arisen…Part 2 brings new texture to visual art’s kaleidoscopic tapestry. In this recent exhibition curated by Mariane Ibrahim, Zohra’s creations capture the room with their vibrant appearance and opulent surrealism.
Throughout her career, Zohra’s work has consistently explored cultural, historical, political, and socioeconomic influences on identity. However, The Myths of Eternal Life represents a deeply personal reflection on the nature of the self, exploring Zohra’s ideas around mortal life.
The series The Myths of Eternal Life is Zohra’s journey into healing and growth; as the nature of dying flourishes, fear is transformed into acceptance.
Zohra Opoku – I Have Arisen…Part 2 is on view at Mariane Ibrahim until 3rd June 2023.
