About Artist:

I am an optimist and a realist, who is always on the lookout for an exciting opportunity. I always had a knack for drawing and creative work, participating in various events to harness my capabilities, as I always had a strong sense of morale of always doing any work to my full potential by putting my heart and soul into it. I practise my religion as it is a part of my identity and helps with peace of mind. I like spending quality time with family as it’s fun. I’m the cameraman capturing goofy moments of my friends.

Artist Statement:

Karachi is well known for being the “City of Lights”, hence I wanted to capture a structure a piece of architecture with a touch of artistic beauty of cultural aesthetic of glasswork décor with blazing colours. I captured the true essence of the metropolis by taking the picture at night to really bring out the glow of the small, petite yet bright lights displayed on the glazing glass as if they were a reflection of stars sparkling on clear water, which makes the everyday bus stop into an eye-catching, mesmerizing sight.
