Drowned Bodies Never Die - Premium Waterproof Phone Case for iPhone & Samsung - Perfect for Swimming, Beach & Outdoor Adventures

South African artist Thania Petersen can trace her lineage back to Tuan Guru, an Indonesian prince brought to South Africa by the Dutch in the 18th century. Fittingly, her work interrogates colonial histories and explores hybrid identities. Her dazzling embroideries, like this middle panel from her recent Drowned Bodies Never Die tryptic, fuse styles derived from history painting and textiles and provide both visual delight and subversive content through their rich symbolism.
