Dubai-based Calligrapher and Abstract artist Rubab Zahra on overcoming depression and anxiety through art
Human emotions can be complex. And the onset of the pandemic, albeit a tough taskmaster, has taught us the importance of slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves checking in on not only those around us, but also ourselves, re-establishing a connection, which had probably been lost somewhere amidst the regimented routines and jam-packed calendars.
