Born in Quetta, Pakistan, Fine Arts Graduate from BUITEMS, Quetta and currently conducting MFA in Fine Arts from Kingston School of Arts, London.

My artistic practice canters around Islamic geometric patterns, exploring themes of spirituality, cultural identity, and trauma. As a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, I have been deeply influenced by the history of my community's persecution and the traumatic events that have shaped our collective identity.

Through my work, I aim to create a dialogue between the traditional Islamic art forms and contemporary art practices, highlighting the continued relevance and beauty of Islamic geometric patterns in a global context. My work is deeply personal. I draw, Sculpt and Paint from my experiences and emotions to create pieces that are emotionally resonant.
