Sameeta Ahmed
and Naveed A. Waghani
While Sufism and Science represent distinct human endeavors, with their own methods and objectives, they both share a deep commitment to the pursuit of truth and the exploration of the mysteries of existence. In this collaboration, visual artist Sameeta Ahmed and new media artist Naveed A. Waghani explore the common themes of these two traditions of human knowledge. This work involves experimentation with New and Digital Media Art, including with images of the universe captured by the Webb and Hubble telescopes, as well as other state-of-the-art scientific instruments.
“Stunning Work!” – Mehreen Jabbar, Filmmaker (New York City)
“Sameeta’s art resonates with a powerful yearning, where text takes on a captivating character within her experimental visual vocabulary – mixing tradition with surprising fresh perspectives.” – Imran Mushter Nafees, multidisciplinary artist
“Sameeta Ahmed’s work in ‘Discovery-Daryaft’, is thought-provoking with interesting concepts, beautiful imagery of the universe combined with innovative calligraphy and vibrant colours. Meditative, brilliant work!” – Jaffer Habib, Landscape Designer
