Zarina — Was Fragile
Zarina

Was Fragile

"Was Fragile" by Zarina is a work of quiet intimacy, bearing the artist's own pencil inscription of 1/20, a notation that speaks to both its rarity and her deliberate, personal touch. Published by Zarina herself, the piece reflects her lifelong commitment to artistic autonomy and the handmade, echoing the meditative quality found throughout her printmaking practice. Housed within a frame, the work exists as both object and meditation, its very title suggesting something once delicate, now preserved in the permanence of art.

Medium
numbered 1/20 in pencil (there were no artist's proofs), published by the artist, framed.
