I'm Sakeena, a multidisciplinary artist with a diverse practice across illustration and craft. My work often seeks to highlight the wonder of nature by drawing inspiration from science and interweaving elements of fantasy, and I tend to blend digital and traditional processes to achieve a more visually interesting style. 

Sparked by my fascination with life on a microscopic scale, Ommatidia is a reimagining of the natural world through the eyes of insects, literally. The graphic novel builds on my research into their unique vision, incorporating colours inspired by the ultraviolet spectrum and experimenting with scale, perspective and composition. It ultimately begs the question - what does it mean to be non-human?

My plan is to stay in Bournemouth and look for freelance opportunities, particularly with the community and local businesses. I'll also be sending out my comic to publishers in the industry.
