We are descendants of the stars. Cosmic dust is an eternal element of the body’s cyclical decay and renewal. We are constant process, not complete products. We are Tertullian’s apologeticus where ‘dead starts come to life’ and ‘everything is refashioned out of death’.
In my exhibition We Are Saved by Loss, I explore the themes of life, loss, and hope through my art. This project, which evolves from my R&D initiative Dis-ease, reflects on the intricate relationship between medical morphology, pathology, and artistic expression.
My work delves into the idea that we are descendants of the stars, where cosmic dust symbolizes the eternal cycle of decay and renewal. Through my sculpted, textile-based hollow drawings, I express that we are not static beings but part of an ongoing process of transformation. Each piece invites you to engage with and empathize with these universal themes of testing and transition.
My exhibition challenges us to rethink our understanding of existence and impermanence. By playing with scale and concept, I offer a perspective on how loss and renewal are intricately intertwined in our lives.
“It's absolutely mesmerising isnt it? It just makes you want to climb inside them. Can't wait to see her future large-scale project”
“This is art 'Speaking'. Naseem has covered a very important subject so well”.
“Beautiful. I love the relationship between the body and then universe. You executed it perfectly”.
“I think the huge scale would be fabulous and break down the 'scare fear' factor of disease many have or at least start a pragmatic enquiry. I also like the idea of tactility and contrast with natural environment”.
