Shiza Saqib, born in Pakistan in 2002, is a multidisciplinary artist. She earned her undergraduate degree in Fine Art from the University of Edinburgh and the Iceland School of the Arts. She is pursuing graduate studies in Psychology at Columbia University, focusing on Spirituality, Mind, and Body Studies. Her work has garnered recognition through her selection for the RSA New Contemporaries exhibition following her thesis show and winning the ArtsThread Fine Art Prize as part of the Global Creative Graduate Showcase. 

In her work, she delves into the synergy between self-exploration and the creative process, weaving together her Eastern roots, Sufi psychology, and experience as a yoga teacher. Central to her practice is achieving a 'flow state' through intuitive movement, breathwork, and repetition. Her work pivots towards an in-depth analysis of the art-making processes, highlighting the essential role of slowness, introspection, and somatic awareness. 

She aims to create spaces that nurture contemplation and presence, offering a unique lens to reimagine the relationship with the self.  This vision is embodied through meditative installations, performances, and embroidered fabrics. Here, she curates a dynamic interplay between the creative process, the artwork, and its surroundings, inviting the audience into an immersive dialogue with both, the art, and their inner being.
