Defaced
24×36” Acrylics on Canvas (1997)
( Private Collection)
I created this painting during a time when multinational corporations were flooding into Pakistan, overshadowing the potential of local startups. I appreciate the digital symbols but they are not meant to capture the true essence and depth of any local language and literature. While inventions are important, their value lies in how responsibly and thoughtfully they are utilized. Sometimes, the conveniences we embrace can undermine our identity and future.
