Spilling Ink and Shadows with @escapismetc

For more from Hawwa’s visual diary, follow @escapismetc on Instagram.

“I’m that quiet girl who always has ink and paint on her fingers,” says 16-year-old artist Hawwa Alam (@escapismetc). “I love light and shadow and color.”

Hawwa, who lives in the UK, first started experimenting with photography two years ago, and has never had trouble finding creative inspiration around her. “Sometimes a poem I read can inspire me to write a short story, or the colors of a landscape make my hands itch for a camera,” she says. “Anything that makes my brain tick and puts my mind to work.”

The young artist hopes to explore many mediums, but, for now, Hawwa’s portfolio marries her two passions: art and books. “I’m trying to share more of my writing in captions, among all the other small snippets of my life,” she says. “Words and colors are always running through my mind. I feel like I have an inner tiger waiting to come out.”
