Breath series is a collection of works based on a journey addressing issues of Muslim women in exile. The photo-based collection of 45 art works was created in part while residing in Florence Italy and part in Canada and supported by the Canada council for the arts, emerging artist category.

The project started with self documentation, with collaboration of Vanessa Garison’s photography, depicting my relationship with hijab and then the unveiling of the self. A dialogue between the inner peace and chaos in juxtaposition with Islamic architecture through mixed media applications.

The collection has also been part of a collaborative work with poetry by Kelly Young, Professor at Trent University’s School of Education Young, K., & Farhoudi-DiMarco, M. (2006) Breath: Writing herself into history. Palabras Press.
