My recent work explores my dual heritage, the process of migration, memory and physical dislocation. I work in a range of media from paint and print, to ceramics and installation.

I enjoy mixing media, using a diverse range of materials and techniques to explore my preoccupations. I often weave literature into my work- both physically by creating artworks using pages from significant stories, but also through the use of text and quotes which resonate with my work.

Birds & Migration
I have recently been working on a series of paintings depicting migratory birds which travel to and from the Middle East. The birds are painted on pages of Arabian folklore. The birds form a metaphor for my own relationship with my heritage; they are unsettled nomads, natives of various places. These paintings are mostly watercolour, with some household paint and chalk.
