Works mainly in other media.

Alhamra's Young Artist exhibition. She works with mixed media and experiments with various other mediums in her practice. ------------------------------ The title of my work is "Journey of Soul." I have always wanted to express my own experiences and spiritual struggles through art. I work with a subjective approach and use pigeons as a symbol for my spiritual journey. In our culture, pigeons symbolize peace, rest, love, sanity, and safety, as well as spiritual calmness in the South-Asian diaspora. Therefore, I use pigeons as a symbol for spirit and soul. In my artworks, pigeons serve as a wonderful example for humans. Pigeons, traditional symbols of love and peace, serve as ideal role models for humans by sharing feeding stations and living harmoniously. My spiritual desires are divided into two worlds: the outer materialistic and physical objective world, and the inner sensitive and metaphysical subjective world. Through the installation of my work, I create the golden truth of inner reality in a visual form and attempt to activate the inner world of spectators by triggering curiosity.
