About Shaheen Peer
Shaheen Peer's self-portrait series draws you in with its evocative use of color and bold compositional arrangements, where clothing becomes a sculptural adornment. Each image is a study of body, form, and the materiality of cloth - molding into sculptures of flesh and fabric. As a Tamil woman, she infuses her cultural roots into her work, imbuing it with a sense of identity and belonging. These images were crafted during the lockdown - a time when Shaheen turned the camera onto herself for the first time, revealing the depths of her innermost thoughts and feelings within the confines of her solitude.
