As an artist, my work explores the concepts of identity and belonging and the search for home as a first-generation immigrant, a woman of color, a muslim, and a mother.  My work is a way for me to bear witness and share the testimony of the stories that define the moment in time.

My art practice combines memory, improvisation, and observation. I work with acrylic, gouache, oil pastel, pencils, crayon, old newspaper, paint sticks, discarded and recycled paper, and fabric. 

Through my work, I want to confront my own privilege, my own complicity in the injustice of the empire upon my own people. What it means to be an immigrant who is wanted for their labor but not for their identity.  I hope my work will make my viewer pause, feel, and see a different reality.
