About Zimbiri
Zimbiri is a contemporary artist based in Bhutan whose work draws from personal experiences, inner conversations and the complexities of the self. Working primarily with traditional Bhutanese materials such as saa-tshen and rhay-shing, her current fascination lies with tigers. Over the years, the tiger has become her visual language—a symbol of self-love, confidence and independence, and a character through which she tells her stories, asks questions and works through her inner conversations.
Guardians of The Forest, 2026
The tiger, majestic in its strength and prowess, stands watch alongside its cub, yet beneath this powerful presence lies a quiet vulnerability. For all its might, its future is intertwined with the care and choices of those who share its world. In contrast, the two children, seemingly small and fragile beside such a magnificent creature, hold within them the power to protect and nurture its home. There is a quiet beauty in this interplay of strength and vulnerability, where the power to protect is not always found where we expect it. Perhaps true strength is not always found in the might of a tiger, but in something as simple as a child planting a tree.
