The city of Karachi is experiencing what may arguably be the worst chapter in its recent history, its streets becoming a virtual war zone with political parties locked in a pitched battle for turf. My work explores the imprint of the city’s descent into anarchy on the collective psyche of its inhabitants who live through a near-daily drama of wanton death and destruction with a mix of defenselessness, despondency, disarray and defiance. The challenge I set up for myself in this body of work was to convey the mental state of my subjects minus the traditional props of portraiture such as backdrop, light, even physiognomy. Black being the sum of all colors & white the absence.
