In the absence of presence, a lingering sense of loss decolorizes memories into a muted shade of nothing. The unfamiliar seems familiar and chaos follows a collective current of stillness. The one left behind sits still with what remains.

Jannat Sohail, also known under the moniker of Wooly and the Uke, is an audiovisual artist and writer from South Asia, currently based in Berlin, Germany. Born in Lahore, Pakistan, Jannat's socio-political backdrop has profusely influenced her artistic expression, with an ever-growing appetite for creative freedom.
Her performative visual narratives are (sub)consciously laced within distant imaginaries around human fragility. Jannat finds herself utilising words, ears, and lens to frame the societal setting and the larger dialogue within.
Home is an ode to those who carry many homes within, shadowed by an invisible yet overshadowing burden of secrecy, guilt, and loss. The visual journey is one that slips between sexuality, isolation, and expulsion, until one is left vulnerable and naked for the world to examine in stillness.
