Navigating grief through creative expression

This thesis reflects my exploration of being an artist while navigating profound grief after the sudden loss of my mother, Mumtaz, in 2018. By repurposing her clothes as a central medium, I engage in artistic practices such as papermaking, weaving, crocheting, screenprinting, and pulp painting, creating a dialogue between memory and loss.

Abstract

This thesis reflects my exploration of being an artist while navigating profound grief after the sudden loss of my mother, Mumtaz, in 2018. By repurposing her clothes as a central medium, I engage in artistic practices such as papermaking, weaving, crocheting, screenprinting, and pulp painting, creating a dialogue between memory and loss.
