Abstract

Captured in Fort Lahore, Pakistan. 

The pillar symbolizes me, a Pakistani-American, the unifying bridge. The area to the left of the pillar is Pakistan, represented by the women robed in vibrant red traditional garments, whereas the area to the right of the pillar is America. Through this deviation, America is no longer "west" of Pakistan, and instead, through this shift in perception, Pakistan is now "east" of America. This piece emphasizes the importance of keeping an open perspective, one capable of change, growth, and unity.
