Sohaila Baluch's work deals with the unravelling of the human experience and the multitude of impressions our experiences leave on us, individually and collectively. Her images explore intrinsic aspects of the human condition, of loss, mourning, ecstasy, pain, life, faith and transformation. Her structured compositions displace narratives whilst blurring the line between fact and fiction, allowing the real and imagined to remain fluid. Sohaila’s work process constantly shifts between the 2D and 3D - she photographs both found and made objects which she then digitally manipulates to create collages or tableaux. The final pieces are then often worked into with varnish, inks, gold leaf or embroidery.
