Artist Statement
 

My artistic practice stems from personal observation on everyday life, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary. Creating art serves as a reflective process for me, helping me navigate and understand life. Trained in traditional miniature painting at the National College of Arts in Lahore, I’ve embraced the precision and repetition of this technique, turning art-making into a spiritual and meditative act. This aligns with my Sufi heritage and family teachings which recognize the ephemeral  nature of life and the importance of being present in the moment.

​

My cross-disciplinary practice stems from a curiosity and inclination for experimentation, leading me to explore diverse mediums and techniques that align with the contextual and conceptual aspects of each work. Yet, my foundation in miniature painting has instilled a love for labor-intensive craftsmanship, led me to approach every material with the same sensibility and a contemplative focus.

​

In my current practice, I explore the interconnectedness of all life—earth, cosmos, and humanity. My work encourages alignment of mind, body, and spirit, exploring, recognizing art's healing power. My ongoing projects aim to encourage a reevaluation of our purpose, lifestyle, urging a commitment to a more sustainable and compassionate future for all life, recognizing the interdependence of every living being.
