'A Railway Station'
As a frequent train traveller from Karachi to my hometown Chakwal, I developed a fascination with the train station’s atmosphere and the spirit it holds within. Each platform is packed with vigour and varying emotions as a journey begins and comes to an end, the constant moving and shifting loading and unloading of goods , the frenzy of people , the rush , disruption , chaos contribute to the urban energy experienced in space. My personal relationship with the station developed as a result of journeys and visits made to the station which further informs my drawings. Using gestural mark making I am trying to address the spirit of being at the station as these energies make the railway station a transpositional space for the traveller.
