Siti Mariam Binte Mohamad Salim
As a medical social worker, Siti supported patients and loved ones who had experienced traumatic loss. As a witness to such experiences, she was keen to find other methods of supporting her clients' expressions and find healing from the trauma and grief. This led her to take up the MA Art Therapy programme as she believes that the arts is an innate and powerful creative tool which can be tapped on to support healing and growth.
Siti uses a variety of media in her artistic expression, with a preference towards abstract art. Variegation is the product arising from Siti’s clinical experiences and belief that even in the most difficult situation, each one of us is capable of finding love and joy. Her artwork is an exploration with colours through plasticine as the art medium.
