Biography
Aster Reem David (b. 1988, Pakistan) is a UK-based artist working with photography and moving image to explore the themes of ecology, geology and her relationship with the natural environments. The focus of her practice is to use it as a platform to reflect, engage and raise awareness on ecological crises. Aster's approach to image-making is multi-layered and experimental; encompassing found imagery, mixed recycled materials and other environmentally sustainable processes combining analogue and digital methods.
