As a first-generation Canadian and child of Punjabi immigrants, my practice emerges from my lived experiences as a women of color moving between cultural, spiritual, and emotional worlds. Existing within the diaspora has shaped my relationship to identity as  something fluid and layered, rather than fixed. Art becomes both a refuge and a language through which I process this in-between state, translating duality, memory, and longing into form.My multidisciplinary practice spans abstract mixed media paintings and ceramics, each offering a distinct yet interconnected way of engaging with the subconscious. Through soothing, calming colour palettes, layered acrylics, paper, and oil pastel linework, I use mixed media as a space to hold complex emotions that resist literal representation. The slow accumulation of layers mirrors the gradual nature of healing, allowing meaning to emerge through repetition, erasure, and transformation.In parallel, my ceramic practice draws from eastern spirituality, channeling symbolic forms and objects that reference myth, ritual, and memory. These works reinterpret cultural signifiers in unconventional ways, allowing tradition to remain alive through reimagining rather than preservation alone. Instead of revisiting trauma as an endpoint, my work is rooted in restoration. I am interested in empathy as a tool for emotional release and spiritual reconnection—both with the self and with something larger and unseen. Across mediums, my practice is a negotiation between past and present, material and spirit, personal history and collective experience—an ongoing search for belonging through making.
