WAQT KI BAATEIN
My paintings are about the hidden stories of my family. Certain events of the past are never spoken about since they are considered dishonourable to the family. The visuals are a recreation of moments of traumatic memory and how I remember them. They depict the interpersonal tensions and the hush that envelops them. The hidden ancestral history emerges from these paintings, each depicting different settings of authority, conversation, secrecy and the complex, unspoken tragedy suffered by the family members. Where every character painted is playing a role in the overall narrative. The narrative is woven with a subdued colour palette, inverted visuals and cropped figures so that the identity of the characters is not revealed.
