I am especially drawn to religious identity and values, especially the debate surrounding the wearing of Islamic headscarves. Through art, I hope to capture the paradox—the meeting between the sacred and commodification of the image of women in advertising concepts.

I use black paint because I’m fascinated by the shade’s depth, richness, and everything it can evoke.

Black is at once the sum and the absence of all colors. The perfect paradox.
