Does an artwork need to have a physical form, or can it be an idea alone? Artists do not always have the liberty or space, or funding to produce the kind of art that they want. But sometimes, our thoughts materialize in front of our eyes. So, what makes art truly our own? In an attempt to answer that question, I am claiming this structure as my artwork in its entirety. This public sculpture consists of metal, electric bulbs, human labor, and the economy and weighs a hundred tons. I did not arrange anything myself, physically or otherwise for the construction. What I am adding is another meaning to it through my thoughts and ideation as the medium. Thus, claiming the existence of this structure as my work of art. The artwork seizes to exist when an advertisement is placed on it but reappears when it is removed. This one can be viewed/experienced E/11, Islamabad.

Face of a birthday girl from 1n half year ago because she didn't wear saari today. Besides I love this picture of hers. We are same age now for next few weeks ( as if it matters) . May our love keep growing and you keep on writing my statements and proposals. #birthday #love #art #marriage #crush #staysexy #future #christoandjeanneclaude https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHfuMHsFfR/?utm_medium=tumblr

A decade ago I made this work. Still love it! I made a few more large scale drawings like these in later years but these are still my favourite. I titled this work 'Landscape 3047'. A #utopian #landscape I imagined and drew the plan of a city of roads Maybe it was the time more than the drawings that I like. I was a student back then at @bnu_svad_official . @iqratanveer851 and @rishamsyed were the instructors . And I had sooooper energy in me Anyways enjoy! #throwbackthursday #studentlife #artschool #drawing #collector #francisalys #andygoldsworthy #white #motivation (at BNU Tarogil Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWnH2HLEti/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here's another detail of my recent work WEIGHT OF OUR DREAMS. This public Sculpture is made up of sacks filled with soil and weighs roughly around 200 Tons. It was on display last month (February) at Rawal chowk, Islamabad Lately I have been stuck on this thought of what makes art truly our own? Specially when artists don't always have  the liberty or space or funding to produce the kind of art that they want. sometimes our thoughts materialize in front of our eyes In an attempt  to answer this question  I am claiming  this structure  as my artwork in its entirety. I did not make soil or dirt or the bag that contains it. Neither did I arrange anything myself, physically or otherwise. But what I am claiming is the  existence of this structure  as my work of art. #publicart #installationart #contemporaryart  #claim  #earth #instadaily #contemporarysculpture  #islamabad  #climatechange #construction #architecture #Concept #idea #creativity #NewWork (at Rawal Chowk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMM27W2nqeS/?igshid=r3vkvxe9of3c

For some reason she doesn't like these pictures of herself but I love them. They have such a #wongkarwai feel ! Or maybe the whole floor of hotel in Istanbul had the same feels. Anyways! #portraits #light #moods #vibes #randomportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/CIgQ_AinSPV/?igshid=q6r4ea2nueib

Yet she says I don't take good pictures of her! I know I am a good image maker. She needs to accept that too! #bts #photograph #wife #art #notart https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVw1hrHfwK/?igshid=9sxvno57uny0

Installation of the works for @asiteforsight at 2nd @lahorebiennalefoundation. I always believe just putting the image on the the walls in not enough, no matter how strong the visual is. Creating the environment that can enhance the viewer's experience with the work is equally as important. And architecture and lighting plays a vital role.! #light #contemporaryart #biennale #Installation #photography #artistsoninstagram #architecture #cultural #travel https://www.instagram.com/p/B83eNSNn3Is/?igshid=st5qr7fm91al
