ONENESS PROJECTS

I am a Berkeley based multi-disciplinary visual artist. As a woman, artist, and mother, I work to create harmony by expressing the universality of humanity through paintings, sculpture, calligraphy and poetry. Inspired by the imagery, sculpture and writings of my Indian heritage and Islamic spirituality, I use my artistic voice to break down the barriers that divide to foster peace and understanding. At birth I was given the life-defining challenge of a left hand without fingers. Seeing the unity of an all-encompassing God, I was able to transcend the barriers often set forth in the traditions of religion, culture, and the cultural perceptions of handicaps.

I believe in bringing change with my subtle voice and deep intention to heal humanity, soil and soul. With that intention I formed Oneness Projects nonprofit three years back.

We experience life as separate energy forms, but we also share our energies and exist as One. We are not only One with each other, but One with the Earth, with every living and non-living being in it, and ultimately, we are one with the Divine Essence itself, that we call our Creator and by so many Names. I hope to awaken that Divine awareness in humanity in these chaotic times to outweigh the harmful and the negative and strive for the 'beautiful balance.’

Oneness projects are designed to appeal to your compassion and to the spiritual in you and inspire you to create projects with art, music, dance, or other performances to share and spread understanding and eternal love.
