Chihota inimitably visualises her inner world as an emotionally shifting, symbolic terrain—a reconnaissance marked by vigilance, self-questioning, and transformative resolution. These new works originate from a question that unexpectedly came to her, "what do you see when you look at me?". The recurring motif of a seat, specifically a stool, becomes a pedestal for the represented body (her own) in direct observation and conversation with the Divine. A series of gesturally restless, and physiologically awkward standing or seated positions figure clearly in Chihota's visual ruminations, acknowledging the reality of what's experienced as opposed to the reality of what might be seen by others.
