dc.description.abstract	My art practice is an ethical and imaginative discourse around Pakistan’s security culture anti-terrorism and its dependence on the production of cognitive illusions in the citizenry. My works elaborate on the use of urban furnishings of danger to rapidly create, continually reinforce and normalize the acceptance of surveillance. Concentrating on this subject matter, I use signs/elements such as razor wire, security barricades, which are painted in their original color theme of yellow, black, red, and white to visualize my lived experience under security surveillance. This thesis is a critical reflection on my creation throughout the MFA program. It is also an investigation of the use of traditional Mughal painting technique and Western art techniques, mediums, and methods within my art practice.	en_US
