As I grew as an artist, my style started leaning more towards surrealism. I love the movement and chaos it creates, because chaos gives me comfort. My life experiences as a Middle Eastern woman growing up in the south of the United States usually help influence a lot of the subject matter of my work. I want people to look at my work and question it because there is a lot of depth and meaning in every piece. Art is subjective, so whether or not people like my art, I want them to at least try to understand the messages behind it. Whether it be climate change, body image, or reflecting on things that are happening in today\u2019s world. My pieces are conversation starters, that is if you\u2019re up for the conversation. They tend to touch on taboo topics, but to me, things that are considered \u201ccontroversial\u201d are the things society should be questioning and conversing about.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11ba873 elementor-shape-rounded elementor-grid-0 e-grid-align-center elementor-widget
