“Through vibrant, large-scale fabric installations, I invite you on an explorative journey of a fluid existence I introduce as "the Malang": an entity, a state, and a site that belongs to all of us. Malang is the part of ourselves we forget, overlook, or choose not to claim. It disrupts categories of self, inheritance, and assignment while opening a space for remembering. I situate my work in this flux between annihilation of ego (fana) and remembered existence (baqa). I intentionally use a visual language that is familiar yet ambiguous, allowing you to meet it on your own terms.I draw inspiration from the textures of traditional crafts, the sensorial worlds of South Asian saintly shrines, and from everyday sacred intimacies. I work primarily with textiles sourced in both Pakistan and Canada, layering patterns, colours, embroidery, and soft sculpted forms.If my work stirs the Malang within you, however quietly, let it do so without inhibitions. Pause if it feels right. Hold what lingers and allow the rest to drift toward meaning in its own time.You are not being asked to learn or understand, only welcomed into a moment of remembering.”
