Sarah Ayu Binti Mohammad Siddiq
Sarah Ayu holds a Bachelor of Human Sciences (Hons) in Psychology and previously worked as an early childhood educator. At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sarah instinctively turned to art to process her experiences and regulate her emotions. This sparked her interest to pursue the MA Art Therapy programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, in the hopes of marrying her passion for psychology, children and the arts.
As part of Sarah’s MA Art Therapy training and in line with her interests, she has worked with children and adults going through family separation, as well as children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. With art therapy, she is eager and determined to explore how art can offer a voice to the voiceless and provide a healthy escape to nurture social connectedness. Sarah finds herself drawn to art-making processes and the meaning-making of abstract images as she deepens her own reflexive artistic practice.
