In 2016, Zahirah hafiz, a Manchester-based artist discovered the transformative power of art therapy as a means to navigate her own battles with anxiety.

 

Drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of Islamic art, Zahirah infuses her creations with a modern twist, breathing new life into traditional motifs and patterns. Her work not only pays homage to the timeless beauty of Islamic art but also serves as a poignant reminder of its enduring relevance in today's rapidly evolving world.

 

Zahirah aspires to use her art to cultivate a safe space for individuals to explore mental health and emotional vulnerability, fostering a sense of community and sparking important conversations.

 

Committed to giving back, she donates 10% of her earnings to Young Minds UK, championing mental health support for young people across the UK.
