“The space in-between”
My body of work is a dialogue between a sense of disorientation and a quest in search of belonging. A conversation emerged as a shift in space from a serene place Hyderabad to a highly busy area, Karachi. I observe rooftops as this space is my favorite haven. A sanctuary brimming with comfort, hope, and joy has now become a place full of disassociation and distraction. Through my drawings. I attempt to convey the dichotomy of this feeling inside the known – yet unknown terrain of Clifton. A language mixed of lines, shapes, forms, and colors collapsing in light and dark. Rigid in places, sometimes soft, sometimes solid, sometimes flexible. A physical sensorial image that is a time-based emergence experience. The multiple-color layering of pastels is an attempt to capture the complexity embedded in temporality within the space. It tends to reveal hidden stories, the essence of the city, and much more.
