Hello, Steemians!Today I will introduce you to a young inspiring woman who I've been following in Instagram for quite a while now.Her name is Sara Shakeel, who after failing her last year of dental school in 2016,accidently became a collage artist with over 245k followers on Instagram.
For her interview with missguided she explained:" I left being a dentist and decided to dedicate my whole life making art! Videos on there is this new hunger for creating content! Bringing out my emotions! Things I have witnessed and see others going through in form of art! At first i thought I was healing myself with my own art! With time with so many messages I have now known it has healed a lot of others out there as well! The reason my bio says “ each picture heals a part of me, and I hope it heals a part of you too”.""
And if you ask yourself how and why she got this idea,missguided asked her for us.
"So it started almost a week ago, when I went over to my friends place for a photoshoot. I remember I was taking pictures of her for my collage art series, and she was continuously asking me to remove her stretch marks on Photoshop – this honestly made me sad, cause firstly it came as a surprise to me because a girl so lean and thin had stretch marks on her, and secondly I am a chubby girl with so many of them including cellulite. I came back home and though I had no intentions of making art out of stretch marks, another picture of stretch marks came up to me ( as if god had all planned this for me) I took that picture, added some glitter to it, and stared at it for a while, i have this habit of over criticising myself and my art, and still remember that feeling of asking my self again and again, why the HELL would anyone be interested in my artwork of adding glitter to stretch marks. But with a crazy imagination like mine, i’ll tell you how I convinced myself and uploaded it “ I imagined that when the skin stretches, glitter pops out from the inside! haha” so the more you stretch the more shiny you get! “ I posted that artwork! and my god! the response was super shiny!"
Here is some of her amazing work:
