Concept Story
The project explores the tension between visibility and restriction - how the human body exists within systems that both reveal and confine it.
Using wires, mesh, and layered materials, Muhammad investigates the feeling of being seen yet restrained - where transparency becomes another form of limitation.
Each textile experiment becomes a metaphor for identity under pressure: the freedom to move, to express, to exist - interrupted by structures that dictate form and boundary.

Through stitching, weaving, and sculpting around the body, the work turns physical resistance into aesthetic expression. The materials are not merely decorative; they push back. They record the struggle between softness and tension, between the self and what cages it.
Focus
Material experimentation and form development around the body.
Research through making - exploring transparency, rigidity, and containment in textile design.
