The artist borrows from a variety of sources ranging from Old Master paintings to the innovative works of the Islamic Golden Age to create her nuanced compositions. Evolving from studies of her sculptures, her paintings emphasize bold gesture and movement. In Untitled (2020), rising and falling layered drips and lines of paint and charcoal evoke the undulating peaks of a mountain range.
