Bisrat Shibabaw
Bisrat creates a dynamic tension, the quiet strength of her figures against the fierce energy of the background. It’s as if the figures are carrying forward despite everything, embodying a sense of endurance and transcendence. This juxtaposition, where the figures appear in harmony amidst chaos, captures the essence of survival and grace, showing us a pathway through the fire and inviting us to find our own strength in the face of life’s challenges.
