Shiza (b.1998, Pakistan) is an artist based in London. She transforms recycled polythene into contemplative pieces. Her work is a demonstration of sustainable creativity. Her theme revolves around the psychological layers inside a human.

Shiza’s practice has emerged through a series of experimentation. Her practice is a merger of an internal and external reality. She found similarities between the ways that inanimate materials held traces of emotions, and the ways it manifests in one’s body. Just like this polythene damages and accumulates on land, in the ocean and in our bodies, psychological rubble accumulates in one’s body and mind.

 She states “I am captivated by the influence of what’s inside us that we cannot see, what it is that we hide, carrying inside knowingly or unknowingly, the emotions and experiences which keep layering up inside us and affecting our present psychological state. Through my work, I am trying mapping those interior layers, which is for me, like an act of assembling the emotions, experienced in different stages of life, into one picture.”
