Maryam Imogen Ghouth is a literary artist who works across visual, audio, and written poetry and prose. Drawing inspiration from science and nature, her work blends psychological insights with philosophical musings to reconcile some of life’s intimate complexities, including selfhood, the coincidence of opposites, and, in the words of Maria Popova, 'the incomprehensible miracle of being alive'.
