[2] Known for her uniquely grotesque, figurative forms that often appear dissected or dismembered, Bhabha often uses found materials in her sculptures, including styrofoam, cork, rubber, paper, wire, and clay.

She is equally prolific in her works on paper, creating vivid pastel drawings, eerie photographic collages, and haunting print editions.

[7][9] While at Columbia, she made paintings using found wood and metal instead of canvas, which allowed her to incorporate formal qualities such as shape, space, and color.

At the same time, the works also recall elements of popular culture, especially the dystopic visions of science-fiction pioneers Philip K. Dick and J.G.

[3] Huma never studied sculpture in art school, so her pieces were originally created through a process of trial and error.

She originally started experimenting with plastics, foam rubber, and spray paint, as well as found objects such as feathers and panty hose.

After this stylistic shift, she realized she could organically choose a stopping point when she felt that her work had reached an interesting stage.

The figure resembled a body bag or a Muslim praying, which was especially relevant to her in light of the recently started war in Afghanistan.
