In Esraa Zidan's captivating realm, women radiate with an infectious joy, their spirits perpetually aglow. Their forms, like majestic vessels of life, exude a mesmerizing beauty, defying the conventional notions of proportion. They are the embodiment of vitality, their vibrant existence painted with the most radiant hues of the imagination. Titled Song of the Flower after a poem by Khalil Gibran (1931-1883), this body of work is inspired by a particularly difficult period in Zidan’s life, marked by the recent passing of her grandmother, who was a significant figure in her life and a profound influence. Her grief and struggle blossomed into flowers, painted onto colourful dresses, on patterned floors and curtains, into bright bushes, green gardens, whimsical swings, and flower-crowns.
