A Rollacoaster ride

My work revolves around the basic term nostalgia. Living half my life in UK, and as I have shifted to Pakistan, I see myself in a new world created of my own. A world of my memory. A world unrealistic yet made from the realistic. I deconstruct images and then construct them in a new manner, creating a new place, a place of my own. A place that is jumbled up in memory. No-one remembers anything as a whole. I create images from my own photography and manipulate them creating a new place. I work in 3D using various materials. My work originates from the word topophilia (love for a place), love for the place where I have spent half my life. It is a form of diaspora, being physically here, I am at times mentally somewhere else. It is a life experience which i depict from my memory in my work. It is a state of mind which i show, memories all mixed together.
