Artist Statement
“I started out as a painter. Over the last decade, I have been working on mixed media
installations, calligraphy, video, and photography focusing on exploring different artistic
mediums and materials. The themes I have worked on explore socio-political topics,
such as Islamophobia, displacement, alienation, and patriarchy. More recently, I had
been engaged in collaborations with other people, consciously using feminism as
practice”.
