About my practice

My research extends beyond Uyghur’s intangible cultural heritage to encompass traditions within all 56 ethnic groups in China. Red and blue dominate this series of ethnic-inspired artworks. I use silk threads in varying shades on various fabrics, from silk to cotton, blending colors while leaving intentional blank spaces to express my connection to minority cultures, and what separates us. I study how different ethnic groups interpret and combine colors, respecting their traditions while weaving them into my own creations.
