"There is great suffering for both men and women in the world, but there is nothing wrong with having an exhibit that focuses on the female aspect of it. Different but equal is a way to describe, and so a co-ed show could be good, too, but only if it…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- Was born in Kabul. Live and work in London.
- About My Art:
- Through my work, I try to reflect events experienced in war torn Afghanistan my homeland. Personal experiences of war where death, destruction, hunger are commonplace in extreme context to my life in the west where I live in exile.
My work attempts to address issues relating to the tyranny of war and can be seen as a metaphor for eternal conflict and resistance.
Through a process of abstraction and the use of metaphor my works engage the viewer in a dialogues that attempt to more beyond the specific in an attempt to come to terms with the complexity of the situation.
I use monochromatic materials as main material for my work. My current sculpture works are concerned with using black fabric and wire in a symbolic way. By cutting, pulling and dissecting the materials, I explore a sudden intense feeling of fear into the space.
- Favorite Artists:
- Mona Hatoum, KiethPiper, Daris Salcedo, Donald Rodeny
