Maha B A is a visual artist based in Lahore, with a BFA from Kinnaird College for Women University in 2023. Majoring in Mughal and Persian miniature painting, she is experienced in gouache, acrylics, and watercolors. Recently, her work was on display at multiple exhibitions across Pakistan and abroad. The aspect of surveillance enabling privacy invasion in this transforming digital and information age intrigues her to identify it beyond just a technological concern but as a more deeply rooted emotional and personal experience.
Home, being a metaphor for the ultimate personal space where one least expects to be watched or monitored, becomes her dominant visual idiom. Through exploration of transparency and penetrable layers, literally and symbolically, she intends to evoke this harrowing reality in the viewers in order for them to consider the implication of this intrusion on our perception of security and personal privacy. Together with it, using sources like Google Maps and Google Earth, she connects it to the pervasiveness of unregulated surveillance in our lives.
