Statement
I am influenced by all that surrounds me-my Pakistani-German heritage, growing up in Pakistan, its vibrant chaotic order and my identity as a female artist. Traveling and experiencing different cultures was part of my childhood, forming a deep impact on the way I relate to people.
My works are an exploration of life and a statement about the complexities of human nature. Each of my paintings question societal expectations of conformity and explores the dissonance that exists between our innate desire to belong and be part of a whole. Our need to be our most authentic self.
My recent works are a study of rhythms-of life patterns and human behavior. Through the use of fine lines or dashes, following one behind the other in an intricate expanse of rhythmic sequences I am trying to express the finer, subtle details often missed in everyday life. Details reflecting our anxieties, our complex natures and our reactions to life experiences. Each painting explores the subtle nuances that resist conformity and try to make sense of our unique lives.
