Shehrbano Salahuddin is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Lahore whose practice moves fluidly between art, craft, and material research. Working with handwoven brass, copper, and steel, she creates sculptural forms that embody both fragility and resilience, permeability and protection. Her work draws from South Asian traditions of metalwork, weaving, and storytelling, reimagined through contemporary form and scale. This tension between tradition and innovation is central to her practice: ancestral techniques are transformed into architectural structures that remain rooted in cultural memory while opening new ground for experimentation. Educated in Mathematics and Art at Smith College and in Architecture at Pratt Institute, she brings together analytical structure and intuitive making. Her woven metal pieces reference sacred geometry, metaphysical frameworks, and natural frequencies, acting as both vessel and armor. Brass, copper, and steel are conductors of vibration and memory; by weaving them together, she transforms them into fields of frequency that invite reflection and stillness, positioning material as both memory and offering.
