In this portrait, the Pakistani artist and fashion designer Misha Japanwala sits on the floor of her art studio surrounded by several of her signature, handcrafted body-cast sculptures. She is positioned centrally, looking directly at the camera while wearing white, wide-leg trousers and a striking, asymmetrical sky-blue resin breastplate molded to her torso. Behind her stands a light-wood work desk covered with art supplies, including a jar of paintbrushes and candles, and topped by a large, lavender-colored sculptural torso. Propped against the wall behind the desk is a large canvas featuring a minimalist black-and-white calligraphic silhouette drawing. Scattered around her on the floor are additional sculpted anatomical forms in bold shades of red, dark blue, gold, and dark purple, highlighting her unique creative practice that explores themes of bodily autonomy and the deconstruction of shame.
