 is a first-generation canadian daughter of the diaspora with roots in east africa, india, west asia and north america. in arabic, 'tahsine' means to enrich, beautify, make better; so it is prescient that she has always been drawn to an artistic expression. tahsine works interdisciplinarily through collage, textile, sculpture and living. her practice envelops a constellation of emotions, sights, utterances and thoughts - an appendage to our inner and outer worlds. her work is a constant iteration gradually shifting over time, pushing and pulling self and those engaging with it (gently), towards critical thought, reflection, and the divine. tahsine curates embodied assemblages by stitching and pasting together various media and textiles. her thematic influences include - time, space, pace, society, culture, equity, empathy, energy, purpose, and potential - all contributing to our collective states and the spectrum of (well)being. 

tahsine is a mother of two bright stars (precious seeds) and lives in toronto.

(aries)

is an Indian-Canadian artist whose practice bridges sculpture and drawing to explore themes of intimacy, identity, and emotional presence. Working primarily with wood, plaster, and exploring alternative materials, her work captures gestures and internal states in forms that feel simultaneously raw and tender. Pooja’s perspective is shaped by the complexities of migration, gender, and cultural translation. Her earlier works were rooted in reclaiming visibility, taking up space as a woman and immigrant artist. Her current trajectory moves toward a quieter, more intimate language: one that invites viewers into a softer, slower space of emotional closeness. Her recent work focuses on extimacy, the externalization of deeply personal inner experiences, often expressed through sketch-like forms, unfinished lines, and material experimentation that preserve the immediacy of process.

She has exhibited internationally, including at NYCxDESIGN, the London Festival of Architecture, DesignTO, and in a solo exhibition in Lacoste, France. Pooja’s work continues to evolve at the intersection of vulnerability, embodiment, and transformation.

However, Ukoh’s work goes far beyond mere aesthetics; it serves as a probing exploration into the complexities of life, and what it means to be free. Ukoh's work continues to redefine the boundaries of art, commerce, and the intricate balance between the two.
