Sum of Her Parts Drawing

“Sum of Her Parts” by Preema Nazia Andaleeb is a powerful exploration of fragmented identity, resilience, and the layered complexity of womanhood. Through black ink pen lines, Preema deconstructs the singular idea of “self” and reconstructs it as a constellation of lived experiences—sensory, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.
Vivid textures, bold black lines, and disjointed anatomical forms reflect how a woman is never just one thing—she is a sum of all her parts: her joy and pain, her silence and voice, her conflict and clarity. The work challenges viewers to reconsider the completeness of being—not as a singular perfection, but as a beautiful assembly of contradictions.
