Pinal Maniar is a contemporary textile artist whose work explores cultural identity, memory, and place through natural materials and traditional craft processes.
Drawing inspiration from natural landscapes, she combines natural dyeing, embroidery, and weaving to reimagine ancient techniques within a contemporary context.
Her tactile works bridge personal memory with collective histories, evoking themes of belonging, transformation, and environmental connection. Through her textile-based pieces and installations, Pinal invites viewers to slow down and reflect on the stories embedded within fibre—honouring ancestral knowledge while engaging with the present moment.

“Where Memory Takes Root -inspired by the hippocampal neurons that are our memory keepers.”
“The use of Organza layers here signfies the stratification of memory , be it long term or short term, transperency and depth of how memories shine through and accumulate to create life experiences.”
“When this is combined with Inner grove, they create a dialogue: one set of neural trees helps us move through life's experience, while others helps us hold onto them.”
Pinal Maniar, 2025.
