About the Exhibition:

“This is what it is, okay?
I said empty your mind
Be formless
Shapeless
Like water
Have you put water into a cup?
It becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle
You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot
Now water can flow or it can crash
Be water, my friend”

– “One Inch Punch”, YĪN YĪN

What do water, birds, flower, their stems, and fish have in common?
They embrace Change. Rise with it. grow and swim Free.

 

About the Artist:

Magdah Omer is interested in how embodying fluid, intuitive, sensual practices affect perceptions of identity’s limits. They mainly use acrylic paints (& sometimes leftover tea, hair dye, and other potential found materials) on transparent, reflective, wooden, or skin canvases to journal expressions of (changes in) identity. They are a senior at Baker College — this is their first solo art exhibition.
