I build large multi- media installations through which I confront the complexity of my migratory history as I have roots in India, Pakistan and Canada with a North African birth. Through the fragments of my known identity I piece together my culture and place of belonging the result being a constructed space that incorporates many cultures. Through my installations I am literally trying to find my own place within my current locale while taking into consideration my personal as well as my family’s history.

My installations are spaces that represent fragments of homes that have been constructed from threading together memories and imagining an environment that defines my bicultural socialization. Many times within these spaces there appears to be a confusion as to which country, culture and to whom the space belongs as many cultures collide into one piece. From gathering family stories, historical artefacts and through my own personal experience I continuously weave a story of migration, culture, nationalism and identity.
