Free Spirit is a tribute to Zangewa’s friend, Henri Vergon, who recently passed away. Unable to attend the funeral due to lockdown measures, this work is a way for Zangewa to honor him. In Free Spirit, she depicts Henri as an angel, standing in his “celestial" gallery, smiling, happy, and energized. Though signifying personal loss, this work also represents a spirit set free, imagining a chance for a new beginning.
