I am driven by a deep sense of curiosity for the world around me. Drawing is one of the first things I connected with as a child and it allowed me to communicate with others. Later, when I was introduced to other mediums like painting, sculpture, or music, the connection was fluid. I have an endless desire to explore and communicate through creative means.
My work is mainly figurative and centered around narratives of Afghanistan and its culture. Much of my recent work examines the different ethnic groups and the many identities that make up Afghanistan. I reflect on the country’s cultural diversity, give Afghans a sense of dignity, and use art as a means of dialogue to translate and communicate Afghanistan’s complexities.
