Emmanuel Osahor’s practice engages with beauty as a necessity for survival, and a precursor to thriving. His works depict garden spaces as constructed sanctuaries within which manifestations of both beauty and care are present. It is important to him that the gardens created serve as imagined sanctuary spaces that are inviting for people of colour like himself. By prioritizing an engagement with the beautiful, his work offers a space where one can tend to the hopes and complexities inherent in contemporary existence.
