Drawing upon her Islamic heritage, her work crafts a new spiritual practice focused on the confluence of the technological, political, and metaphysical. Her practice utilizes observation and endurance through performance and ritual, connecting to natural landscapes through the manipulation of image surfaces. Her current research studies hyper-visibility, digital surveillance, sacred ecologies, empire, and autonomy.
Sensorial and spatial, Sadia’s work takes the form of physical and digital sculpture, textile design, video installations, graphic objects, and imaging technologies. Using abstraction and fragmentation to express complex present realities, she develops her own palette of symbols, motifs, and entities rooted in natural landscapes to gesture at the relationships between the corporeal and territorial “body.”
