Submission Collage

Visions to self

Collage enables me to express my freedom of thought. I am inspired by the life experiences of various ethnicities. I conduct surveys among international students to gain insights into what may be causing them distress or unease. Their stories help me cultivate ideas. I visualize these thoughts in my designs by intersecting traditional cultural references with modern expression.

I create digital collages using photos, illustrations, and hand-scripted Urdu calligraphy—my native language from Pakistan—to emphasize identity and message. I explore ideas that reflect personal or collective experiences and visualize them through layered designs. My work brings attention to global and mental health concerns, opening conversations and raising awareness through a visual narrative of shared humanity.
