I am constantly inspired by the tactile experience of the world around me, from the vines in leaves to the bumps in concrete. In my art, I explore the definition of identity and connectedness with culture, and how that coincides with the journey of personal discovery. With a Pakistani-Canadian background, I have concluded that the abstraction of art is essential in design to create a shared experience and portray the blend of different cultures and how multiple identities can live with each other, despite the conflict.
