Reborn
Urban development continues to take over Karachi and each year thousands of trees end up being sacrificed for this cause. My work takes inspiration from this and for many months now I have been actively collecting chopped branches which are found dumped into various empty plots, footpaths and parking lots within the premises of Clifton and DHA. These discarded branches are brought together, refreshed and reimagined as solid structures where they are not only given an independent identity but also another opportunity to interact within an architectural space that once took over their space.
