Shadow and Light

Artist Name: Duaa Shafiq

About Artist:

My name is Dua, and I am a Grade 8 student with a passion for both Science and Arts. I aspire to become a doctor, specialising in neurology or cancer research. Alongside my studies, I love creating art and find inspiration in colours, creativity, and self-expression. Art helps me relax, while Science fuels my curiosity about the human body. One special thing in my life is my determination, I never give up, no matter how tough things get. I believe that dedication and passion can turn dreams into reality, and I strive to make a difference through both medicine and art.
