About Zarah Charm

Zarah Charm is a multidisciplinary artist whose work extends through digital media, photography, and hair artistry. Her style, which is greatly influenced by both her career as a natural hair stylist and her international travels, explores themes of freedom, community, and Blackness. After making a shift and transitioning her life abroad, she recognized how limited her previous viewpoint was and has dedicated her time to sharing the importance of travel to everyone she meets. This change in perspective gave her the courage to leap into the world of web3 in 2021. Today she is an artist in the NFT space, using her talents to forming a beauty archive- embedding her creations in the blockchain to forever be memorialized for future generations.
