Anum Farooq

Presenting the voice and works of Anum Farooq:


Some things are so fragile They crumble silently away

Gently dissipating


Rain drop falling from the sky

Without reaching the earth, it evaporates


The butterfly wings a delicate beauty

Gently torn by wounds, no longer existing

Some things seem so strong of tensile strength

Yet they crumble, no sign

No forewarning

Gently and it is all gone


A fading smile, sorrow in her eyes

A guiding strength, poignant like a whisper

Within us, a million winds

The search is over

The searcher sleeping ever so peacefully.


The accompanying image is Emily Tull's work that also explores ideas of fragility. Hand-stitched portrait on muslin, hessian, cotton and polyester.
