Statement:
My work revolves around the manipulation of visual narrative and material where structure made out of brass sheets is transformed into paper. Deception is an essential part of my practice deals with the ignorance of our society towards important issues. Brass being the prime surface is executed in such a way where it loses identity as a material and is depicted as a fragile piece of paper. In my letter to Pakistan, I have used the visual of the national flag of Pakistan that represents peace and hope. However, the golden part of the surface symbolizes the preciousness and significance of our nation hidden beneath.
