Cities, Countries and Borders

Zarina
2004

Splintered, fractured maps, diagrams, designs, yantra, schematic, angular, black and white. Zarina describes a world in her prints that is unpeopled yet it is a world that resonates with the most basic of human emotions of needing to kmow where one belongs. She questions identity, the meaning of home, the desire for roots, in  an entirely abstract way, and in her most recent series of prints, Cities, Countires and Borders, she questions the very notion of safety, security and refuge.
