Enya Elahi is a London born poet, novelist, musician and graphic designer. Through her work she explores an individual’s search for authenticity, self-knowledge and spirituality. With Fijian and Eastern heritage, she has always questioned what it truly means to have a sense of personal identity.

Having studied a B.A. in English Literature, she then moved on to studying a L.L.B. in European and International Law at The University of Sheffield.

She is the author of the novel 'Alias', which is a story contemplating reality and what it means to exist. In her work she poses the question whether 'reality' is a physical objective part of existence or whether it is merely an illusion, depicted to us through our personal experiences.

'Alias' is a fictional tale, and tells the story of the personal journey of the characters Noor and Kabir, on the infinite riddles which constitute the mysteries of space and time. Noor is an arabic word, meaning 'Light'. It is a narrative which allows the reader to escape through the boundaries of reality and witness the mysteries of the universe unfold and transition into the meandering flow of mysticism.

Inspired by the iconic works of great Sufi classics, Alias brings a refreshing perspective on what constitutes the fundamental principles of reality and beyond. A complex question into the theories and concepts surrounding what it means, exactly, to exist. A vivid piece of literature, exploring and unravelling the ideas connecting the spiritual and physical realms. Set in 14th century Persia, it is an intricate journey which ponders the most unknown reaches of the universe, and combines it with the beautiful and colourful world constituting the fabric of existence.
