This piece draws inspiration from Zakia's collaborative work with Soil Generation and their forthcoming publication, Soul ReIntegration: An Artistic Self Exploration & Healing Journey Curriculum Guidebook. Zakia spent a year meditating on Prompt #3, “Resentment Remediation,” undergoing an intentional journey of reconnecting to her spiritual practices and training in energy work. During this time, Zakia recalled a similar period of her life in which she traversed the liminal space of becoming and was gifted permission, catharsis, and solace from the Earth and all of her elements. Offerings II is a memory of the moments before engaging in a sacred ritual with a sisterfriend and the Spirits of the Ocean at the Cape Coast of Ghana in 2021. Under the cover of the night in dangerous waters, our burdens can be washed away, if–and only if–we surrender to the divine process.
