Midnight Children (2020) is a performance for camera that was performed during the 2nd phase of the lockdown in mid-May outside London, UK. Unable to pay the rent, I decided to move out of my room and move into a narrowboat currently moored on the Grand Union Canal. On the night of the performance I met my friend on the towpath outside of my boat and attempted to do a spontaneous collaboration. In this performance I walk on the towpaths whilst holding a DSLR camera and a mirror. Simultaneous to my actions, the performance-participant (Margherita Bernardi) attempts to draw an outline of my shadow on the ground whilst both practice social distancing.

The audio of For-e-skin Contemplations (2019) comprises of recordings of two of my poems performed by Margherita Bernardi and myself. The poem sung by me is in English and includes the entirety of Poem day 77 (2017), which is inspired by the 77th Chapter of the Quran; ‘Winds Sent Forth’. The poem recited by Margherita is the entirety of ‘The Night Journey’ which is inspired by the 17th chapter of the Quran; ‘The Night Journey’. 
Midnight Children (2020) is my most recent artwork and functions in parallel to my current explorations of the connotations of shadow according to Islamic doctrine and contemporary artmaking.
