My practice explores identity, memory, intimacy and the complexities of human experience. Informed by growing up queer, British and Punjabi in Birmingham, my work reflects an ongoing interest in belonging, visibility and the ways we understand ourselves and others.
Working across drawing, digital imagery, moving image, text, performance and spoken word, I explore the relationships between private and public worlds, personal narratives and shared experiences. My work moves between the personal and the collective, often drawing on moments of vulnerability, tenderness, connection and joy.
