سفر نامہ (book of travels ii) Painting

By documenting the spaces not in their exact form but through my personal understanding and perception, the artwork encourages viewers to delve into their own memories and emotions tied to places they have encountered. The surrealistic mind palace formed in the artwork invites viewers to question the nature of reality, blurring the lines between the physical and metaphysical worlds. The use of traditional oval formats, reminiscent of ancient manuscripts reserved for portraits of monarchs, bestows a sense of regality upon the depicted spaces. By framing them in this manner, I wanted to depict a sense of grandeur and significance to each location, emphasizing their role in shaping their life's narrative. Traditional miniature borders further enhance the portrayal of the spaces, elevating their importance. The deliberate decision to experiment with lines, resembling skeletal structures, adds an element of abstraction and invites viewers to consider the underlying structure and essence of each space. The artwork invites viewers on a transformative journey through their diverse experiences, exploring themes of movement, displacement, preservation, and spatial experimentation, drawing parallels and finding solace in the shared experience of human existence.
