In the Parda series, I was drawn to household textiles and women’s daily rituals as sites of secrecy, desire, and quiet endurance. Fabric became skin, memory, and witness. With pins, safety pins, custom hooks, and zips, I pierced, fastened, and reassembled surfaces as gestures of both violence and care. Each puncture carried the weight of inherited silence, discipline, and longing.

Rooted in experiences of repression, sexuality, and recovery, this series of work examined how repetition and ornamentation shaped the female psyche in the name of purity and tradition. By re-enacting domestic gestures, I transformed acts of submission into rituals of resistance, reclaiming vulnerability as strength, and tenderness as a form of power.
