We All Are Not The Same Boats

Sana Zaidi graduated from the National College of Arts in 2017 with honors in miniature painting. She interned with the foundation Art Divvy and Discovering New Artists. She is currently teaching miniature painting at the National College of Arts. She has had several exhibitions at leading art galleries in Pakistan. Her work was also part of the 9th National Exhibition of Pakistan and exhibited at the Shakir Ali Museum as a donation for Cancer patients and at Alhamra Art Council in collaboration with Ghar Par to empower the women of Pakistan. Her work was exhibited at Chateau Descologne, France as an intercultural dialogue.
The poetry of her late grandfather influenced her to write a poem which became part of her paintings. The connection which is created through these rhythmic lines of poems is depicted in her artwork. Her work is an illusion of conversations between us which emphasize the power of love and poetry and how it uplifts the heart.

مظھر چلے گئے اور شمع جال گئے
سفر کا ہر ایک راز وہ مجھ کو بتا گئے
وہ ہنر جو عطا ہوا ان کو الفاظ میں
وہ ہنر خدا نے دیا اب میرے ہاتھ میں
ہے سفر بھی وہی اور رات بھی وہی
پر جاگنے واال وہ ہے کہ نہیں
یہ سفر بہت کٹھن ہے ساماں نہیں
پر ثناء اس سفر میں تنہا تو نہیں
