“I am fascinated by the weird and wonderful organic forms that are growing in the many coral reefs on the seabed. It’s home to such delicate, unexpected and diverse shapes of plants and animals. I want my work to reflect and pay homage to this fragile underwater landscape and hopefully draw attention to its value to all living beings.“

Rooted in the traditions of South Asian truck art, this work draws from geometric patterns, floral motifs, and cinematic imagery of the 20th century. It reflects the social and cultural shifts in Pakistan, turning popular visual culture into a bold expression of identity in the public sphere.
