entwined: Ruh/Spirit includes a portrayal of home… with Deptford Fun City and the Thames. 'Chinese' dragon clouds envelop tower blocks, emitting smoke into the night sky amid an impending eclipse. Another detail showcases the hand of the Angel Ruh/Spirit, representing control over movement and stillness, while holding the 'Celestial Spheres' from a 15th-century Persian illustration.

The Cypress Tree, a recurring motif in both poetic and visual expressions, carries a profound symbolism in her work. Its portrayal in Mughal and Persian miniature paintings reveals a subtle yet intricate narrative. Traditionally adorned with blossom or entwined by a flowering vine, the meeting of these elements symbolizes The Union—of the Lover with the Beloved, the seeker with their teacher, or the feminine and masculine entwined.

Paintings and prints is this series have been showcased at venues including Yinka Shonibare’s Gallery Guest Projects (London, UK), the Queens Museum of Art (New York), and the Taubman Museum of Art (Virginia, USA).
