Deception of Ignorance

The second part of the series showcases the painted images as prints on fabric.

“This artwork delves into the theme of innocence by crafting a serene Lahori summer scene, set in a reimagined backyard of the artist's childhood home. The painting blends reality with the artist's imaginative touch, thereby creating an alluring image that blurs the line between fact and fiction. The artwork captures the concept of blissful ignorance and acknowledges the lurking dangers that remain omnipresent. It vividly embodies a state of cluelessness, evoking a sense of purity and naivety, unadulterated by the harsh realities of life. However, this false sense of comfort is short-lived, for lurking dangers inevitably come to light.”
