"My work connects with me the way people have not, it creates a language for me that I could never seem to learn. My work stands up for my trauma, my work protects me from the reality.

"When I paint, I don’t see a simple image, I see every circle, every stroke as a part of my story coming together to explain why I am the way I am. Sometimes I like to see the canvas as a baby, so innocent and naive until they grow character. The way my canvas starts off pure but ends with the burden of my story really allows a connection that cannot be stolen.

I, Unza Khuram, am a south asian artist but my skin does not define me, it cultivates me."
