Curator Note: Zubaida emerges as a figure of serene strength and blossoming vitality. Her skin is treated as a living landscape, its deep, swirling patterns chronicling a narrative of growth and graceful evolution. She is framed by the bold declaration of hibiscus flowers, their vibrant crimson tones a testament to her blossoming essence. The viewer is then invited to consider an intimate detail: the golden earrings, each bearing the form of a ladybug. This adornment is intentional, weaving delicate symbols of luck, the continuity of life, and metamorphosis into her compelling presence.
