From the Silurian sands of West Wales to the Chalky cliffs of South England and the millions of birds migrating to and from the British Isles, nature’s stories reflect our own — a poetic song of existence. Nature witnesses our stewardship and stories. Art, as a mirror to the environment, serves as a tool for education, cultural change, healing, inspiration, and reflects the high regard given to all forms of life in Islam.
As an artist and photographer with a background in poetry and visual storytelling, I aim to extend my craft beyond poetry. That is, I want to create impactful art that intertwines the diverse natural landscapes of the British Isles with the Muslim experience, celebrating and enriching both the British Muslim community and the broader cultural tapestry of the UK.
