Beyond the Body explores territory, placement, displacement, and the female body, with a sustained focus on space and belonging. I examine how a body becomes alien within different contexts—not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. Growing up under the constraints of hijab, I experienced a disrupted relationship with my own body. Later, migration introduced another form of estrangement, shaped by being perceived as a stranger or immigrant. These layered experiences inform my practice as I navigate new spaces, identities, and bodily awareness. I began this exploration by measuring my body and mapping my studio, using these acts as ways to understand space as both physical and psychological. I often use pigeons as a recurring symbol of femininity, freedom, and return. Because pigeons navigate using magnetic cues, they embody my ongoing question: where is home? I also draw on pigeon towers—structures deeply rooted in my cultural history—as visual and conceptual resources that connect land, memory, and care.
