Through every medium I can find.
I'm a filmmaker, photographer, writer, and media artist working between Germany and Pakistan. Since 2017 I've built a body of work across short films, documentary, editorial photography, screenplays, poetry, and media art. I shoot. I direct. I write. I can do all three for your project.

Travel films, aesthetic video essays, visual logs — the work that shows what I see and how I move through the world with a camera.
A durational performance exploring time, dreams deferred, and the quiet weight of our own postponements. I performed wearing a black shalwar kameez and ajrak — my Sindhi cultural identity made visible. Post-it notes attached to my body carried dreams I have told myself to pursue "one day." A two-sided mirror: one face for me, one for the audience. Visitors were invited to write their own deferred dreams and place them on my body.
The shalwar kameez represents where I come from. The ajrak carries centuries of Sindhi tradition, identity, and resistance. The performance was an act of shared vulnerability — inviting strangers into the weight of possibility.
An immersive 3D audio piece pulling the listener into the mental disintegration of an unnamed subject — someone losing not their life, but their inner continuity. Inspired by Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, the work unfolds across five emotional zones: Dissociation, Panic, Longing, Fragmentation, and Collapse.
I wrote the title and the full exposé for this work, and contributed to the 3D audio composition. The piece was part of the IMC MediaArtCulture Summer Exhibition at Dieburg Museum as a Fulldome Touch Design interactive piece — and has since been nominated and selected for the Jena Full Dome Festival.
Also — The +496071 Landline
A media art installation exploring human connection through a vintage landline telephone set in a familiar living room. Visitors pick up and answer a question, creating a moment of self-reflection through memory, cultural background, and shared experience. Exhibited as part of a sensory environment inspired by Kükelhaus's theory of embodied perception.
