Notes
Through brilliant colour pairings and repeated motifs, Chihota explores the nature of relationships. The boundaries between self and nature are blurred in ‘the root of the flower we do not know (mudzi weruva ratisingazive)’, 2014, as the central figure’s form seems to meld with the flowers it is holding.1
