This work is informed by my experience of moving to and learning to navigate within the metropolis that is Karachi. The virtual simulations are a result of my interest in visually representing my perception of the city by creating an alternate spatial reality. The process that led up to the artwork consisted of inquiry towards the infrastructure of the metropolis, themes of coexistence and my experience of alienation. Given the advent of Covid-19 and global shift towards the cyberspace, the work was consciously chosen to be made within the digital realm to explore the advent of virtual reality and its impact on physical life, as well as explore the different ways technology can be used as an artistic medium.
