Five years ago, my photo embroidery journey began as a form of art therapy, inspired by incredible artists around the world. I’ve always loved taking photos… little scenes from everyday life and that habit of noticing small details naturally shaped the way I create.

My first pieces were stitched on historical photos from the Dhivehi Archives, opening a doorway into our past. Today, I mostly stitch on my own photographs.. moments from my homeland, our culture, our history, and the everyday beauty that surrounds us.

I’m inspired by the small things, street corners, bursts of colour, the gentle chaos of the city, and the calm of island living.
