“Dear Tiger” is the title of Zimbiri’s first solo exhibition with Nature Morte in Mumbai. Through a variety of works, Zimbiri considers the many influences that shape identity, from family and community to culture, aspiration, and memory. Deer and tigers appear throughout the exhibition, sometimes wearing one another’s masks, becoming symbols of the roles we inherit. Sometimes these are the versions of ourselves we perform, embrace, or outgrow.Through paintings, sculptures, and textiles, the exhibition reflects on the spaces between belonging and individuality. How much of our identity is truly our own and how much has been shaped by the worlds around us?Like a letter left unfinished, “Dear Tiger” offers no fixed answers. Instead, it invites us to reflect on the forces that shape us and the quiet process of becoming ourselves.
