About the work

Zadie Xa has created Passage to Death, 2023 especially for Whitechapel Gallery to accompany her solo exhibition Zadie Xa: House Gods, Animal Guides and Five Ways 2 Forgiveness 20 September 2022 – 30 April 2023

Xa’s edition for the Whitechapel Gallery portrays one of the central characters in her large scale painting, featured in the Whitechapel Gallery exhibition. The patron goddess of Korean shamans, Princess Bari is a figure largely associated with death and funerary rites and is the conduit for souls of the dead to pass through safely to the underworld. Xa describes the image as an homage to Princess Bari, as well as to the artist and film maker Park Chan-kyong and his 2013 film “Manshin: 10 Thousand Spirits”. This image of Princess Bari is inspired by her appearances in his film. Xa has surrounded the figure with an embossed grid of colour, a further reference to the textile structure from her Whitechapel Gallery installation.

About the artist

Korean-Canadian artist Zadie Xa was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1983. She lives and works in London. Drawing on her own background, Zadie Xa’s works reflect the artist’s ongoing engagement with hybrid and diasporic identities, global history, folklore, and spiritual and religious rituals. Xa’s art seeks to elevate narratives that have been erased and repressed by the West and occupying powers. It is a means to analyse and process socio-political conditions and cultural behaviours through a lens of masquerade, play, costuming and storytelling.

For her largest solo exhibition in London to date, Xa presents a new body of work commissioned by Whitechapel Gallery. Xa creates an ambitious installation where sculptures, textiles and paintings act as ‘tricksters’ and ‘shapeshifters’ in and amongst a large-scale fabric structure that is inspired by a traditional Korean home known as a hanok. Immersive lighting and audio transform the gallery’s historic architecture into a dreamscape that suggests ideas of liminality and transience.

I like this brand of paper bowl and the price on Amazon was cheaper than the store. They hold up to most foods and don't leak. Great for cereal or spaghetti.

Very smooth and also affordable when buying the 3 bottle set.
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I just love this lotion. I am 78 years old and need extra moisture daily. I can tell you how this lotion has made such a difference in my mature skin. I use it every morning after a shower and nightly for over night protection. I love that it's unscented and doesn't take away from my cologne that I love, where other lotions overwhelmed my cologne. Anyway I love it so much that I bought the 3 bottle package to have it always on hand. I am very picky with my face lotions and serums and I use this lotion on my face after my serums. It makes my makeup go on so smoothly and seems to help not having to reapply during the day. I just can't say enough about it and this lotion will be my go to body lotion as well. I am constantly getting compliments on how soft and smooth my skin looks and feels and this is saying something when approaching 79 years young!!!
