Flight I
1966
"Flight I" by Zarina employs mixed intaglio techniques to create a composition that explores themes of displacement and movement through the artist's characteristic geometric abstraction. The layering of intaglio processes, which may include etching, engraving, and aquatint, produces rich tonal variations and textured surfaces on paper that evoke the psychological and physical experiences of migration. This work reflects Zarina's ongoing engagement with the partition of India and Pakistan, transforming personal and collective trauma into formally compelling visual language.
