THE STORY BEHIND THE WORK
Her work is shaped by touch, memory, and a remarkable instinct for detail.
Blind since birth, Asma learned early to navigate life through skill, discipline, and careful repetition. At The Blind Academy, she discovered drawing alongside advanced thread-based practices such as crochet and tactile techniques.
Her intricate work challenges the idea that visual art depends only on sight. It demonstrates how the right training can translate instinct and persistence into skill, joy, and creative possibility.
