Ashira

“This Place Feels Like Home, is a heartfelt exploration of the essence of belonging. Through the harmonious marriage of hand-painted and sewn papers along with digital collage, I crafted a tapestry of simple houses set against a mottled blue sky, nestled on lush green. Each element in this collage represents the layers of memories, emotions, and experiences that define the concept of 'home' in our lives.

It is my hope that viewers will find resonance in this piece, evoking their own sense of nostalgia, comfort, and the universal longing for a place to call home.”

Ashira is a maximalist mixed media artist who works to reconfigure fragmentations of human experiences through a diverse range of mediums and techniques not often seen together. Ashira’s art embodies Ashira’s endless curiosity and is informed by the dichotomies that have made up Ashira’s existence, bridging lifetimes of messy edges and mismatched parts, and showcasing the ways in which we stitch ourselves back together in perfectly imperfect ways often creating anew out of the broken chaos around us.

Largely a self-taught artist, Ashira’s unique visual language is a reflection of Ashira’s unique life experiences and informed by Ashira’s various neurodivergent overlaps, evidenced by the kinetic ways in which Ashira creates. Ashira currently lives and works in Southern California.
