Mahfuza Shammy Rahman
By occupying space as a Bangladeshi-American woman in the New York art scene I hope to inspire a softer more welcoming world that is situated somewhere between East and West. Through canvas, paint, paper, beads and stones I create a yearning to settle in roots, a struggle within family and world dynamics that push cultural norms, generational trauma and inherited values. My hope is to create a sanctuary for those who don’t feel seen.
