"The Jihad Pop series is an exploration of identity through Islamic symbols and iconography. The consciousness of Shah being a Muslim woman in the West, and the division arising from defining personal identity, issues of belonging and influences have been in conflict.The meeting of these two words ‘jihad’ and ‘pop’ is the marriage of this exploration of identity and the simultaneous broadcast of imagery of violence, conflict and migration." Karachi born Seher Shah lives and works in London.
