Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours
My practice delves into my experience with multi-hyphenated identities, decolonisation, life events, healing and spirituality. I convey these themes in the form of mixed media with a particular focus on embroidery, textiles and painting. My recent works are based on intuitive flow and repetitive motions as they create a therapeutic release for my mental wellbeing. I also have interests in the art and textile histories of my South Asian heritage.
