Across the Veil

Year
2020
Location
Sunridge, Calgary, AB
Commissioned by
Noor's Curry and Grill

Afghan restaurant mural merging portraiture and landscape; central figure with flowing red veil and camel rider silhouettes; themes of heritage, journey, and migration across land. A large-scale public art mural exploring cultural identity and diaspora through a monumental female figure in South Asian jewellery. The composition features a flowing red veil containing purple mountains, blue horizons, and distant caravans of a homeland that exists as much in collective memory as in geography.
