Through my work, I try to reflect events experienced in war torn Afghanistan my homeland. Personal experiences of war where death, destruction, hunger are commonplace in extreme context to my life in the west where I live in exile.
My work attempts to address issues relating to the tyranny of war and can be seen as a metaphor for eternal conflict and resistance. I use monochromatic materials as main material for my work and through a process of abstraction and the use of metaphor I try to engage the viewer in a dialogues that attempt to more beyond the specific in an attempt to come to terms with the complexity of the situation.
