Synesthia Art Show Exhibition
at The Hive, Chester NJ
In this show, I had the honor of working alongside the very talented and otherworldly artist, Angelina Tufariello. It was a dream come true when Angie invited me to co-host with her! The opening's turnout was spectacular, and it was a phenomenal experience getting to both network with other rad Jersey artists and discuss the inspirations behind my art with attendees. I got to showcase my pieces "Ode to Sleep" and "One Mind", and closed my first ever gallery art sale. This night was pure magic.

"One Mind"
My beautiful best friend, Areej, and I had the pleasure of meeting the Olympic fencing medalist Ibtihaj Muhammed. She is ethereal!
"Ode to Sleep"
In April 2018, One Mind also made its debut in New Jersey's 17th Annual Muslim Interscholastic Tournament, hosted at NJIT. The motif of focus for the competition was rahma, or mercy, in the Islamic context. This event, which offers Muslim students the opportunity to learn more about their faith and develop leadership + communication skills, allowed myself to dive deeper into the concept of rahma and discover exactly what it means to me. I delivered an oral presentation pertaining to my piece, and won 1st place in the fine art category.
