I AM DRAWING TO OBSERVE THE LOSS
2024
Zoology Museum, University of Karachi, Pakistan
Installation
Drawing: 38.1 cm/ 27.94 cm
Video: 20 Min.
The drawing performance has done in context of University of Karachi, Alumni exhibition. I revisited the museum after 14 years since I first did the skeleton drawings for my undergraduate thesis. The loss was evident there in the form of lack of resources to maintain the specimens and the museum's infrastructure. For me the decomposing specimens were also symbolic to the loss of biodiversity in relation to climate change.
These site-specific performances are continuation of my ongoing dialogue with institutions, public spaces and nature.
