My scholarly work is grounded in Visual Culture and Creative Inquiry, focusing on how visual forms generate, communicate, and transform knowledge across artistic, cultural, scientific, and social contexts. Drawing on interdisciplinary training in engineering, visual arts, and cultural studies, I investigate visuality as a mode of knowledge production rather than merely representation. My research examines three interconnected domains: visuality and identity, visuality and culture, and visuality and knowledge. Through studies of contemporary art, Islamic aesthetics, cultural heritage, digital media, art–science practices, and non-human agency, I explore how visual forms shape understandings of self, culture, and the world. Central to this work is the proposition that visual practices function as active sites of inquiry, meaning-making, and societal engagement. These contributions have resulted in internationally recognised publications, creative works, authored books, transdisciplinary collaborations, and postgraduate supervision. Collectively, my scholarship is driven by the question: How do visual forms generate, mediate, and transform knowledge about self, culture, and the world? Through this research agenda, I contribute to advancing visual culture as a framework for understanding contemporary human experience across disciplinary and societal boundaries.
