Having lived as a refugee in Pakistan and Indonesia before resettling in the U.S., his experiences shape a cinematic practice that explores identity, memory, conflict, and displacement. A graduate of the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), his work has been presented internationally through collaborative projects at institutions including the Van Abbemuseum, the Ian Potter Museum of Art, QUT Art Museum, and REDCAT.
