What’s missing tells the strongest story.
Amidst the Absence, a Present is Felt brings together sculptural and photographic works created between 2020 and 2025, including a new commission.
Through cut-out silhouettes, miniatures and hand-crafted interventions, Ahmed explores absence as a form of presence—felt, remembered and embodied. Personal and political narratives entwine themes of masculinity, migration and colonial legacies, creating works that are both intimate and layered.
This exhibition invites audiences into a conversation about identity, erasure and resilience.
