Through an invitation of self evaluation, his images are an attempt to shed light on well hidden parts of the artist as well the communities that the work belongs to. Questioning the norms of ignorance, the images focus on different perceptions of reality.
Mojlish currently works as a visual communicator in Austin, Texas.
Inan Sibun
Inan Sibun's paintings and sketches include colors from the monotonous city life, complexities of it, journey of her mental health and the connection between people's soul. She finds absolute beauty in darkness and messiness, the chaotic sides that we constantly want to hide away from each other. Her strokes would tell tales of rage, frustration, melancholy and the absurdity of existence. Sibun's work is an invitation to find beauty in the harsh messy world.

Abir Khalid
Every time Abir is asked to express himself in words it reminds him of the childhood memory where he is looking down at that long dark well where he can barely see his reflection, hardly recognizing himself.
