While we strive to master a skill, mastery is linked to hierarchies; unchecked, it colonizes otherness. Using oil painting, the author guides us to buried Western traditions of epistemic humility and tolerance for plurality occluded by popular tropes of modernity and the West. She invites readers to practice facing otherness with compassion.
