Okokume's celestial alter-ego Cosmic Girl is submerged in a pastel ocean, surrounded by reminders of climate change.

Cosmic Girl looks back at the viewer with a hopeful expression, urging them to reflect on the rising sea levels around her. A small self-portrait of the artist appears amongst the flooded infrastructure. Complimenting the optimistic neon hued palette, Okokume hand-finishes each print in acrylic and diamond dust.

“Cosmic Girl represents the fragility of the moment we are facing and the vulnerability we have with nature – nature that we have modified.”
