Expressing a synthesis of my diverse experiences and multiple roles – growing up and living in multiple cultures and communities – my artwork is also a quest for an identity that combines all aspects of my life into new realities – representing hope and renewal, explorations, and new discoveries. I create narratives of transcendent identity and cosmic unity within the context of harmonious realities in a global age of conflict.

Mixed media works and installations are created from fragments of carvings that I designed from geometric patterns. The carvings are broken apart and then redesigned into structures that represent new realties. In some projects, I layer these structures with disparate elements. Geometric patterns, appropriated from the art and architecture of a region where I grew up, represent my cultural heritage and aesthetic traditions. In recent works, I juxtapose these with patterns found in nature and in the cosmos. The works are modular and can be custom made for interiors in any size and many design variations. Sarah Ahmad
