Aniq studied architecture at NCA, where his interest in urban studies and interactions with informal economic workers—often the most marginalized in society—deeply shaped his art and design practice. Experiencing urban spaces as an architect heightened his awareness of these communities’ struggles, inspiring him to capture their everyday moments, aspirations, and dreams.
His work seeks to step into their world, offering a perspective through their lens. He explores the quiet power of existence, where daily routines shift from conscious effort to habitual motion—moments where life stands still yet continues to breathe, a universal truth for all.
In the rush of daily life, the gift of existence often goes unnoticed—much like the excitement of unwrapping a present, where the layers hold more intrigue than the gift itself. Through art, overlooked moments of marginalized individuals are brought to light, capturing their resilience, joy, and quiet perseverance. They embody the essence of living, finding beauty in struggle, meaning in the mundane, and hope in uncertainty, reminding us that life is not meant to be perfected but fully experienced.
Both the subject matter and the small scale of the work are intentional, encouraging a closer look. By highlighting unnoticed lives and intimate details, the viewer is invited to slow down and see what is often ignored.
