Surroundings fascinate Farah as an artist. We are part of society, which is a combination of emotions of pain, happiness, and joy. Her work conveys messages through symbols, colors, and connections. She uses symbols like the lotus flower, which represents the purity of a female, and the rebirth, or self-regeneration, in many eastern religions. With the tree, she symbolizes herself as part of society. The tree is sensitive and twisted with deep roots, which shows her natural bond with society.
