Acquired from the artist.

'Zarina is a thinking person's artist. Her practice appears calm, quiet, collected, and free of the desire for spectacular effects and monumentality. She seems intent on inviting emotional responses that lead to reflection and self-reflection, forms of sentiment and feeling that catalyse the process of becoming aware of ourselves and our place in the world. It is a sensibility that is shaped by (and is scrupulously attentive to) the social conflicts of our times. Her work displays a distinctive habit of reflection on what it means to be alive and to be human not despite, but precisely in the midst of, the antagonisms and violence that are so omnipresent in our world." (A.R. Mufti, 'Zarina's Language Question', Zarina: Paper Like Skin, Los Angeles, 2012, p. 151)
