Zara’s practice explores the delicate interplay between control and surrender. In her current body of work. large-scale, abstract patterns rendered in pen on paper. She embraces an intuitive process where the act of making becomes the art itself. What unfolds is not a predetermined image, but a dialogue: between hand and line, thought and instinct, artist and material.

A graduate of IADT with a background in sculpture, Zara previously worked with steel and fabric to express themes of tension, physical, emotional, and psychological. Fabric strained against welded frames spoke to internal pressures, resistance, and release. That same energy persists in her drawings, where repeated patterns echo a meditative rhythm, but never strive for perfection. Instead, the work emerges through a kind of listening.

This surrender is both an artistic approach and a personal ritual, one rooted in healing. Letting go of control, embracing flow, and allowing uncertainty are central to her evolving practice. Her drawings become more than visual works; they are the trace of an internal process, a tangible record of trust and tension held in balance.

Zara’s work invites the viewer into this space, one where softness and structure co-exist, and where silence speaks. It doesn’t seek to explain itself, but to be felt. Each line, each repetition, is an echo of presence, a gesture of letting go.

This is an art exhibit and is open free to the public from 10am – 6pm
