Sabiha approaches textiles as a site for integrating and disintegrating memories, images, and histories. Her works address the human tendency to forget over time and advocate a renewed understanding of ephemeral memory. She captures cultural histories and lived experiences through the act of weaving. The tactile materiality of textiles is ingrained with acts of remembering in the face of erasure.
