I am obsessed with the forms and details of human anatomy and my mind related that obsessed with the traditional jewelry of my region that adorns our body. My inspiration starts from my home city Multan, a rich multi-craft culture, I had observed, in detail, the craftsmanship of design and now is daringly applying it through the fine arts mode. These bazaars were a regular visit for my family and me, because my mother teaching in a government school which is near sarafa bazaar, mesmerized from a very young age I always wondered about this beautiful craft called Pattoli which is a decorated threadwork tiring with traditional jewelry. This fascination grew as I entered my college years and decided to get to the core of my aspiration.
Threads, ropes, and their knots, twists and ties have always inspired me. The inner structure of our body reminds me of the same knots, twists and turns that are present in my jewelry making practice. Basically, I take the structure of the veins, arteries, and organs inside our bodies and translate them into threads and ropes used in jewelry making to create a sculptural installation. The end result looks different from its inspiration, but that is the result of the transformation in my art making process.
Basically, I assemble the traditional Pattoli Craft with the human anatomy corresponding to the inside anatomy details drawing. Threads, ropes, and their knots, twists and ties have always inspired me. The inner structure of our body reminds me of the same knots, twists and turns that are present in jewelry making practice.
