In Matters of the Heart, Isabel Okoro shares stories grounded in the everyday realities that inform the foundational process and optimism of constructing Eternity, her visual universe. Three questions have formed the basis of her survey and allowed relationships, space, and memorabilia, in their various forms, to serve as a vessel to move through time.

(Who, What, Where) tugs at the strings of your heart, and fills you up with life – makes you feel like everything is possible?

(Who, What, Where) reminds you to stay grounded amidst this ever moving world?

(Who, What, Where) is there for you when you need to be picked up?

Through her ‘come as you are’ approach, she has highlighted the uniqueness in human perspective while maintaining a level of care and empathy that allows her sitters to embrace the comfort that comes with speaking your truth.
