The Unveiled Journey is a visual testament to the blurred boundaries of trauma, recovery, and human identity.

The Spectrum of Self uses bright neon pigments and vivid rainbow motifs to challenge rigid cultural boundaries and celebrate the diverse layers of human identity. Created as a direct defiance against the restrictive, traditional art rules of Pakistan, this series uses unconventional colors to open public dialogue around taboo subjects like sexual orientation, gender expression, and religious identity. By transforming human features into spaces of intense color, the collection explores how society labels the human form and how the marginalized body can reclaim its own definition. More details

The Grounded Census strips away these taboos to examine the foot as a site of profound sensory experience. This series spans diverse environments moving from the heavy weight of systemic poverty to the softness of luxury, and from raw natural elements to intimate human touch. By documenting the foot across different surfaces, shoes, and climates, the collection explores the thin line dividing absolute comfort from intense vulnerability. More details
The Controlled Identities documents the reality of hidden identities, discrete lives, and displaced narratives. Photographed entirely from behind or in controlled, dark environments, this series captures individuals who must conceal their faces and backgrounds to remain safe. Moving from conservative community spaces to urban crossroads and border crossings, the collection reflects on how society sees immigrants, refugees, and marginalized voices. It questions where purpose and personal identity reside when a person must exist without a recognized face or country. More details

When I heard about an art competition on “Peace Building” organized by Air University and the Multan Lions Club, I knew I had to participate.
My first attempt was a simple A4 sketch of the Quran and a key labeled “Peace.” But when an organizer challenged me to make it larger and more colorful, I went home and created the biggest artwork of my life. I used a large chart paper and expanded the concept. I painted a sea of golden keys much like the flying keys in Harry Potter. Each key represented a material distraction:
- Addictions: Cigarettes and alcohol.
- Desires: Sex, kisses, partner, and love.
- Materialism: Money, houses, and property.
- Escapes: Music, sports (football, cricket), and food.
I even included keys for “Suicide” and “Masculinity.” But none of these keys could open the heavy, jewel-encrusted wooden box labeled PEACE that sat in the corner of the painting.
In the center of the chart was the main focus: a large, beautiful key designed like the Quran, covered in green velvet with gold Arabic calligraphy. The “teeth” of the key were shaped to spell out the word PEACE. My message was clear: in a world full of material keys, the Quran was the only one that could unlock the box of true spiritual peace.
