“Knowing we’re made from clay reminds me we’re all equal before Allah, it’s only our deeds that set us apart.” - Iram
British Pakistani Islamic calligraphy artist Iram explores faith through material and form, moving from biomedical sciences and medical writing back into a self-taught practice rooted in Qur’anic reflection.
Her work centres Islamic calligraphy, clay, and earthy materials to reflect on creation and return. In Islam Through My Eyes, she presents a ceramic vase inscribed with Qur’anic verses on human creation from clay, using circular composition to echo the cycle of life, death, and return to the earth.
The work holds space between identity, faith, and lived experience, opening reflection on tawhid, humility, and what it means to create as a Muslim artist in the West.
