This first collection of work I did when I first moved to New York from Karachi is titled ‘Home’.

‘Vanwyck Boulevard’; is the subway stop where my first home in the US was located. Urdu has been used not only to build a personal territory within the city, but also to announce my presence and my identity. Painting the subway map and translating minute, tiresome details has been therapeutic for an estranged person who is trying to identify with a new city, its streets, its landmarks, its avenues.
