'Real and its double'
French Embassy
2019
Reality as we see it, as we hear it, as we smell it, is directly dependent on what our senses perceive. We create our own reality as we go. Since most of what we touch is prompted towards its presence whilst what we caannot touch or see, is automated into absence, as unreal. We build our own standards of what is real and what isn’t. The performance is a two part narrative, where first the physical contact takes place with the surface, reexamining what it is like to touch that prompts certain perception. The latter part of the narrative is writing down every thought, every word that is stimulated by sensory experience. Reality exists as far as our senses perceive, take away your five senses, would you even see what you see now?

'Death of Sex' PNCA 2020
Death of sex is an interactive performance. A narration about dehumanization and objectification of women. The non consensual behavior of the sham-piety and the mentally sick within a society. It is like being robbed off ones own right to her body and identity, it is no longer hers.

Dekh (دیکھ ) Lal Jadoo, karachi
For دیکھ, she sat in the tunnel-like driveway, a mound of chalk before her. Dressed in white, with a grey shawl over her head, she wrote in Urdu on the wall, as if on a chalkboard. When she reached the bottom of the wall, she began writing on the floor. When she’d reached the opposite wall, she took a hammer and pounded at the letters that she had scrawled. Her work seemed to be in unconscious dialogue with that of Umme Farwa, who, positioned next to her, methodically trapped herself inside a circle of red powder that she had meticulously applied. Yazdanie states of the performance: “A person becomes a name, a name becomes a body, a body becomes an idea; then what life are you talking about?”
The Artist is Light
Karachi
Let’s go back in time, where a voice Commanded ‘let there be light’ and there was light. Now take the same concept and set it in a socio-religious framework of this society that we live in. My body is a representation of an isolated injustice as a performance. It is a repeated consequence of misrepresentations, misquotations and misled religious teachings and commandments for a woman or a man in light of those consequences. Where the color white, is assigned to purity, it is the same color wrapped around a dead body in hope to reach its transcendental phase. A color used to wrap broken arms, broken limbs, to secure skin and heal once again. Light as in the veil and unveiling of morality and its death. My performance is a consistent struggle to wrap and unwrap my body as I partake on this journey to understanding this ‘light’. But this light, is it really mine to own and transform?
