Zehra Khan
Website
Zehra Khan is a Pakistani American, and worked in Karachi as an art teacher in 2006. During her childhood moving from country to country, she was an avid journal keeper and took written correspondence very seriously. As she established her relationship with art, she began combining the text with images. Her work is often about issues of identity, and the method of text layered can be linked to Islamic calligraphy.
