OMARA never separated image from language. Her paintings speak, argue, joke, protest, and confess. They demand to be read as much as they demand to be seen.

Created during the final years of her life, this work belongs to a remarkable group of paper pieces in which OMARA transformed everyday observations into sharp social commentary. Funny, uncomfortable, fearless, and deeply human, these works remain as direct today as when they were made.
