Fiza Hussain is a visual artist born in 2001 in Haryana currently residing in Delhi, holding a BFA in painting from GD Goenka University (2018-2022) and MFA in painting from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, (2022-2024). Her practice spans installation, painting, and video art, with a conceptual focus on the intricate relationship between space, memory, and architecture. Her work investigates how physical spaces, particularly those within domestic settings, act as vessels for personal and collective memory.

Central to Fiza’s practice is the use of found objects, which are transformed into visual poetry, embodying the traces of memory embedded within spaces. By repurposing these objects within her installations, she interrogates the ways in which ordinary materials and architectural fragments hold narrative potential, becoming metaphors for the passage of time, memory, and identity. The interplay between absence and presence in her installations offers viewers a chance to reflect on the silent histories held within spaces and objects. The concept of trace—both physical and metaphorical—plays a critical role in her work, as these objects and spaces become markers of lived experiences, evoking a sense of nostalgia and loss.

Influenced by architectural phenomenology, her work engages with the ideas of lived space as articulated by theorists like Henri Lefebvre especially drawing inspiration from thinkers such as Gaston Bachelard and his seminal work The Poetics of Space, her work explores the intimate connection between human experience and architectural environments.
