About Me.

hello! I am a freelance fine artist based in Birmingham and Plymouth. As a British-Bangladeshi multidisciplinary installation artist, I use painting, photography, video installation and printmaking to explore atypical experiences surrounding identity, belonging, mental health, and memory. I'm a self-taught filmmaker and painter, having studied Art History and Fine Art at Plymouth University. Alongside my creative practice, I am seeking to create a visually stimulating, emotionally captivating and thought-provoking experience for those who come across my world.
