Aa dekhein zrra

Fahad Altaf is a Lahore based Visual artist. Fahad graduated from the National College of Arts, Lahore with a distinction in 2021. He says “I am a deaf person because of this I am incapable of communicating like a normal person. However, I can observe people by their Actions and expression. In my own journey of analyzing people, I have found a common trait that everyone has, whether it is on social level, political and on domestic level. The trait is that from a young age we are trained to follow orders and obey as if we are animals, to fight others, provoke others, to do whatever is needed to get what we want, which is success, power and authority. We don’t even care how many people we hurt as long as we are acquiring our goals. In my work I choose a rooster to symbolize the animal like behavior that we all possess, like the rooster is trained to fight on our behalf, as we are too”.
