To be born, brought up, and live in a society where one is intrinsically deprived and forgotten as a female, isolated and labeled as the ‘other’ in one’s own homeland, femininity and ethnicity become one’s identity. Struggling with this identity in a patriarchal society, self-expression becomes a necessity. I express myself against these exclusions, deprivations, and expectations of society. I weave the pain; I stitch the untold stories that society refuses to see or to hear otherwise. Each stitch in my works has love, hatred, fear, hope and ... attached to it.
