    "Growing up in a social environment where I am not allowed to vocalise my thoughts leaves me with many things to say. Art gives me the platform to express myself, to reflect and find my ‘self’. When I am making art, I am in total control of my own boundaries; I feel unbounded and unlimited."

     

    Aqilah interest in Confessional Art traces to the inspired influence of Tracy Emin and Louise Bourgeois. She completed her International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP) in 2015, and is preparing to further her art training with a degree programme.
