Item Dive in the world of psychedelic(UMT, Lhr, 2023-07-03) Iraj ZiaPsychedelics are a class of hallucinogenic drugs whose primary effect is to trigger non-ordinary states of consciousness via serotonin 2A receptor agonism. This causes specific psychological, visual and auditory changes, and often a substantially altered state of consciousness. Therefore, the theme predicts how people feel on psychedelics and put that feeling into a form of art. Which will be presented as prints Combine the theme psychedelic street fashion psychedelic theme has more colors and vibrant textures and street fashion has more of a rugged feel to it I decided to combine the two themes my objective was to raise more awareness on what Psychedelics are and how they affect human consciousness and to help common people experience it in form of art The topic psychedelic because it is very misunderstood in our society and the people who do it are seen as taboos and not as victims as a sister of a helucigenic drug addict after I talking to him and discussed his condition I have come to know that it is not all as simple as just be a drug addict and it goes away more Deeper than that through My work I wanted to show the reason why the drug addicts become drug addicts as we know the reality is not as forgiving for everyone the society doesn't accept everyone for who they are why wouldn’t anyone want to escape that I know I would and the two ways to escape this reality is either to end it or stop experiencing what you're feeling in between those two options attempting suicide is not for everyone it takes a special type of motivation to attempt suicide So when that option is out of picture the only option left is not to feel what you are feeling or not to experience the reality that you'll never get and for that reason some people opt drugs and doing psychedelics give them a false sense of reality which we call hallucinations it makes them think that they are living at a different world with colors and wild imagination anything they think can come true and I want people to understand that through my work I want to show what a drug addict sees when he address those hallucinations and 5 maybe looking at my work it will help them see what the cant experience The outcome that I want is to have a piece that has both the qualities of psychedelic theme and ruggedness I have planned to combine psychedelics and rugged look of the street fashion and present them in an aesthetic form which pleases the eye both of the themes on their own are perfect but what I thought was to combine the two so it has both of the qualities and that will give me more to play with and more outcomes to produceaItem Celtic Knots(UMT Lahore, 2023) Muhammad NoumanCeltic knot is a unique and captivating historical fiction story that weaves believable mystery elements into the shape. The tight link between the aesthetic design aspects and symbolic meaning explains their endurance. The connotations given to Celtic knots have endured over millennia. One meaning has triumphed over all others. They were considered to represent trust, unity among people, and, in some cases, protection from evil spirits. The Celts were the most populous people in ancient Europe. Celtic knots are continuous loops with no start or end, and they are thought to symbolize eternity in the form of loyalty, faith, friendship, or love. Celtic symbols can be discovered in the earliest art forms all throughout the world, thousands of years before Christianity. Simple knot work, primarily spirals, key patterns, and step patterns, was used in the Celtic civilization. The introduction of Christianity to Ireland aided the growth of Celtic symbolism, the creation of more intricate and complicated designs, and the widespread use of Celtic knotsItem Home textile accessories inspired by “Iznik tiles”(UMT Lahore, 2023-06) Zumra Ameen⇨ title of project: home textile accessories inspired by "iznik tiles" introduction (background / inspiration): these decorative ceramic pieces are called "iznik" after the turkish city where they were first made 400 to 600 years ago. iznik artisans moved from making simple earthenware to richly decorated pottery like this one ⇨ inspiration; i have a great interest in knowing the history of european countries and continents. i chose this theme because i have a hobby and interest in hand painting on tiles. iznik tiles are based on hand painting. it has basic motifs and patterns that inspired me a lot. ⇨ objectives of project; • i aim to make a home interior product based on the iznik style. • i aim to make 3d products and play with the colors of iznik tiles. • i aim to make products that represent iznik tiles in contemporary home décor. ⇨ plan of work: 1) mix media 8 2) embroidery 3) embellishments (adda work, heat burning technique, bleaching effect, weaving) 4) printing technique 5) fabric manipulation 6) needlework 7) hooking latching 8) hand embroidery 9) quilting 10) beads and beading 11) smocking work 12) applique 13) trimming (fringe trim, sewing trim) ⇨ expected outcomes: • my major work is on home interior products using iznik designs and patterns. • my major focus is on sitting sofas and cushions. i have used different textile products to develop unique and attractive products that are being demanded more in the market.Item Sea shells(UMT Lahore, 2023) Tahreem ImranThe entirety of my thesis work has been completed while surrounded by the soothing sounds of the ocean and its accompanying seashells. My childhood summers were filled with the joyful activity of collecting exquisite sea shells, which served as the inspiration for the theme of my work. Through online research, I discovered the captivating intricacies and inherent beauty of sea shells, leading me to select this topic for my project. These cherished memories continue to hold a special place in my heart, offering a refreshing and revitalizing effect on my soul and mind. A shell is an outer layer that is typically created by marine animals or organisms as a protective covering. It is an integral part of their body. When these animals die, their shells become empty as the soft parts decompose or are consumed by other creatures. Holding seashells close to your ear can create a sound reminiscent of the ocean. In addition to providing relief from stress, shells can also offer protection. They are also symbolic of good communication, positivity, and healthy relationships. The colours of shells are influenced by the water and the organisms' diet. The seashell is a common result of the natural abundance of marine life in Indonesia's waters. This type of conch shell is one of the most frequently occurring marine debris. Seashells come in various types, such as Dara shells, green king shells, scallop shells, mussel shells, and oyster shells. The shapes of these shells are highly diverse, and managing the waste of conch shells is crucial to make the most of their utilization, such as transforming them into fashion accessories like bags and shoes. As the materials used to make accessories change over time, their use, particularly for women, yields a wide range of outcomes. The seashells hold a special place in my heart as a cherished memory that will last forever. The objective of my thesis is to develop textile designs that are inspired by seashells and evoke the same sense of wonder that I experienced. These designs can be used to embellish rooms and enhance their aesthetic appeal. By incorporating my work and designs, I hope to inspire others to generate refreshing ideas.Item Chinese dragon and floral “An ultramodern approach for traditional design in textile”(UMT Lahore, 2023-10-03) Anam JavedIn Chinese culture, Chinese dragons hold utmost importance considered powerful exerting control over natural phenomena such as rain and drought. They can be found in China in stories of legends, astrology, festivities and art. The Chinese culture is also rich in depicting the flowers to express emotions in literary works such as poems and artistic works such as paintings and sculptures, also highlighting at the spiritual expression and growth. Other than flowers, dragons are considered pioneering spirit symbolizing fortune, imperial supremacy and power over nature. All my life I admired the positive energy and I'm also a very optimistic person when it comes to handling difficult situations. Chinese dragons are the symbol of positivity. They help in controlling the flowers and plants because they hold power over water. And I wanted to create this link between nature (floral and plants) and positivity. Chinese culture contains dragons of numerous colors ranging from blue, green to orange, red and even white and black. Different colors of dragon represent different things. I chose red, yellow, blue, green dragons because they symbolize luck, good fortune, wisdom, power and the approaching of spring, plant growth and new life respectively. Floral sets you free to paint all colors of your choice. Every stroke is life, every shape is happiness, and every edge is pain. I want to define this culture to the people of nowadays through my designs. The working plan is all set. First step is strong research because the stronger the research, the stronger the design then the development of different elements, compositions and repeats, color schemes, and painted sketches. After that the next step is sampling of products keeping in mind the target group. And the last and most important step is the development of final products, finishing process and display presentation. The final products which I expected are tapestry, lamps, textile wall-size panels, and design templates, with different techniques, hand embroidery and wall hangings which defines the culture of Chinese dragon and floral.Item Innovation of Turkish design(UMT Lahore, 2023-10-12) Syeda Noor Ul Iman BukhariThe purpose of my study is to organize Turkish traditional methods and their connection with existing product designs. Traditional Turkish styles played a very important role in Ottoman art because of their examples and unique styles from the 16th century. When we examine these principles we will see; tiger stripe, three dots (Cintemani), Rumi, Hatayi, Penç, Cloud, Crescent, Star, Jacinth, Tulip and Carnation. At this time, Turkish designers have begun to use Turkish traditional methods to differentiate themselves from other designers. An example of contemporary design using Turkish motifs implies that it is of Ottoman origin and has historical value. In this study, Turkish motifs and their influence on the creation of products that are used today are examined. Keywords: Ottoman arts, modern Turkish style, traditional Turkish motifs.Item Executing the aesthetic of tropical leaves & flowers through a collection of bags(UMT Lahore, 2023-09-25) Fatiqa ShahidTitle of project: Executing the aesthetic of tropical leaves and flowers through a collection of bags Introduction (background / inspiration): Tropical islands are full of greens and colorful, exotic flowers.

I have chosen this theme because my grandfather used to keep these plants in our home. So I have been looking at these plants since my childhood. Moreover, I am always attracted to something horror and creepy, or something which involves some weird facts. Apart from this, I have also watched some movies related to haunting plants since then I decided that I will choose this topic for my thesis. So now if we come to my topic, haunting plants are also known as carnivorous plants or insectivorous plants. Those plants are usually adapted to capture and then digest insects and different animals. These plants capture their pursuit by means of ingenious pitfalls and traps. There are more than 600 known species of carnivorous plants. And sometimes even more than 600 including their carnivorous habitat. But I have used 3 basic species of haunting plants by using insects as their supporting elements. These four species are; pitcher plants also known as Sarracenia purpurea scientifically, Venus fly trap also known as Dionaea muscipula scientifically, sundew also known as Drosera scientifically and lobster-pot trap also known as Genus Geniesscientifically. Now if we talk about their pitfall and trapping mechanisms then pitcher plants are considered to be one of the most common types of pitfall prey, pitcher plants have hollow bodies and lid leaves on their mouth and have some sort of liquid on their leaves to trap insects and animals and then digest them. The same goes for sundew plants, they have some sort of sticky mucilage through which they trap insects and animals or with butterworts or leaf surface and gland-tripped hair to capture their prey. Similarly, the Venus flytrap uses its rapid leaf closure moment to capture its prey and digest them. The same goes for lobster pot traps use their hair to trap plants and insects they prey on them and then digest them. Now if we come to their digestion process, then the carnivorous plants go through the chemical breakdown process and then digest animals and insects and then in the end the plants absorb nitrogen and salts. And this absorption helps carnivorous plants to survive and grow.Item Finding Nemo(UMT Lahore, 2023-09-21) Atiqa IntekhabAll my thesis work is done under the inspiration of Finding Nemo. The thesis aims to create designs, compositions, or different fabric samples using a somehow different theme; animation. Finding Nemo is an animated movie. The movie was released by Walt Disney on May 30, 2003. The movie was written and directed by an American filmmaker, Andrew Ayers Stanton, and the screenplay was by Bob Peterson and David Reynolds. Disney has created many magnificent movies, and Finding Nemo is also one of them. It is a venerable animated and adventurous movie. Finding Nemo tells us about the importance of family and also teaches us how to tackle situations or problems. Finding Nemo is the story of a clownfish Marlin, he was very overprotective of his son Nemo. The story illustrates the bond between father and son (Marlin and Nemo). Nemo was captured by the dentist; which happens very early in the movie. And the entire movie was about the struggle or adventures made by both Marlin and Nemo to finally meet at the end. The animated movie Finding Nemo is inspired by multiple experiences. In his childhood, Andrew Ayers loved to visit his dentist just to see the fish tank. He thought that the fish in the tank was from the ocean and they all wanted to go back home. My inspiration for Finding Nemo is mainly because I want to work on some animation. After doing some research I found it a bit interesting. Finding Nemo is also a joyous memory from our childhood. The memories of our childhood have special significance in our lives. So, in the end, I decided on a topic to work on. And my final products are installations. Installation art is a type of visual artwork that can be produced using variety of materials and techniques. Summarizing the story, through all of my work, and my designs I tried to make a progressive contribution to the market and also to influence the direction towards new or innovative ideas.Item Contemporary art textiles of damask(UMT Lahore, 2023-07) Aneeza jamilThe damask content may be traced back to Asia and the Middle East. It is thought that the name originated in Damascus, Syria. The cloth was initially sold and manufactured in this city throughout the Dark Ages. It was coveted for its lovely appearance and was frequently used for bedding and clothes by the aristocracy. Damask is a sort of fabric that is often composed of silk, linen, or cotton and features artwork or a pattern devised by the brocade twirling method. The configuration is usually elaborate and might include floral, geometric, or abstract motifs. Damask fabric is widely utilized in home design, such as tablecloths, curtains, and tufting, and is valued for its sturdiness and exquisite aspect. The damask fabric is made using the tapestry twirling method, which necessitates the incorporation of a specific dominant that allows for complex designs by manipulating the weaving of individual threads. This method provides a high level of detail in the design and distinguishes damask cloth for its sumptuous look. Damask fabric is very prominent for remodeling homes and is frequently used in creating beautiful and proficient dwellings. It comes in a variety of colors and designs and is created from a variety of materials like silk, linen, and cotton. Some cutting-edge damask textiles are likewise treated with specific treatments, like stain resistance or wrinkle resistance, to make them more suitable for usage in the house. Damask fabrics are known for their beauty and versatility, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.Item Beans and nuts(UMT Lahore, 2023-10-06) Warisha NasirIntroduction (background / inspiration): My topic for my thesis is coffee beans almonds and hazelnuts. The processed and roasted seeds from a fruit known as a coffee cherry make up the real beans that you use to prepare coffee. The term "coffee" has roots in a number of different languages. It acquired the name "qahwah" in Yemen, which was formerly a romantic phrase for wine. Later on, it evolved into the Turkish kahveh, then Dutch koffie, and finally English coffee. They are renowned for their flavor, which is smooth, rich, and noticeably devoid of bitterness. The almond tree, also known as badam, is a kind of tree that is indigenous to Iran and its neighboring countries but is commonly planted overseas. The name of this tree's edible seed is badam. No, almonds are not actually nuts. They are actually the seed of an almond tree fruit. That fruit is a stone fruit, similar to cherries, peaches, and plums, with a fleshy exterior and a pit inside. The nut of a hazel plant, the hazelnut has a smooth, shiny, hard shell, making it one of the most distinctive nuts. Hazelnuts are edible nuts that come from the hazel tree. The leaves of hazelnut trees are alternating, serrated, obovate, and hairy. The inspiration behind this theme is that I always aimed to start my own café as a childhood dream and being a designer I thought to design my own café. We all have experienced that hearing the word "café " all of sudden the first thought in our minds is about coffee and beans I would like to create a coffee themed living space with a blend of hazelnuts and almonds. 11 | p a g e Objectives of project: Taking inspiration from coffee beans' color and textures of almonds and hazelnuts inspires me to create nature based textile patterns which can be used in the interior. The objective of my project is to explore and use as many techniques as I can. I will create surface patterns and then use them on the final products. Plan of work: My plan will be carried out using machine embroidery, hand embroidery and embellishment. I will also use coffee splashes in my surface to create patterns which will enhance my work more along with the use of original shells of almonds and coffee beans in my products. Expected outcomes: Expected outcomes will be 7. Wall panels 8. Caned three seater bench 9. Quilted foam on bench 10. Standing lamps 11. Rug 12. Wall mounted framesItem Inspired textile by honey bees(UMT Lahore, 2023) Hadia AzharThe focus of my thesis is on honey bees. Due to their extreme sincerity and attention to detail, bees are used as examples by others. They should teach us to be submissive, diligent, and truthful. Bees are part of the biodiversity that is essential to our survival as a species. They sell high-quality foods including pollen, honey, royal jelly, and other products like beeswax and propel poisonous wasps. Vision was to express creative potential while highlighting the endangered species of bees that can help further to spread awareness about the rising social issues. Mission is to express the art with the help of different fabrics like pillow cases, bed sheets, dining mats etc. The color scheme of my portfolio is inspired by nature. The color scheme of flowers is inspired by nature such as sun flower, mustard flower, forget me not etc. A hive is a bee colony's residence. There are three different castes or sorts of bees in the colony. Queen's drones and worker bees are these. The asocial honey bee shows strong estate-specific differences in old age. Honey bee workers typically survive 15–37 days in the summer and 151–206 days in the winter, compared to the average lifetime of 1-2 years for queen honey bees. A honey bees stinger can be used to sting a prey item or a person. For certain people who are allergic to the venom, bee stings can be extremely painful or even fatal. Typically, honey bees sting to defend their colony or themselves. Fascinating fact: Every kind of bee that produces honey also consumes it. It provides them with energy and is stocked with the nutrients they require to stay healthy. Let's examine their feeding procedure in more detail and discover why bees consume honey. Pesticides, drought, habitat loss, inadequate nutrition, air pollution, global warming, and other factors are among the causes of bee fatalities, according to scientists. These things are all interrelated.Item William Morris(UMT Lahore, 2023-09-26) Hijaab Bint TariqWilliam Morris's early creative endeavors were motivated by his love of the outdoors, reverence for historical lifestyle and culture, and an urge to create art that was affordable to everyone. Morris was an adventurous youngster who spent a lot of his time exploring the countryside and developing an appreciation for nature. Because of his early stimulus from the environment, his future works often accentuated plant and animal life. Morris's design and ornamental arts projects were distinguished by their dedication to time-honored practices. He wanted to bring back ancient skills like spinning, work of embroidery, and printing since he thought mass-produced items were of worse quality. Morris favored strong, uncomplicated patterns and colours, and he often drew inspiration from nature for his creations. Morris is now seen as a forerunner of contemporary design and an influential person in the Art & Crafts movement. The outcome of this research is introducing new shapes and forms in my design development and giving inspiration to young artist like me, there is so much more to the eye that we can see and get inspired from and bring that to our work. I am going to introduce my work in textile work with different techniques like patchwork, embroidery, Ada-work done on different fabrics giving them beautiful effects. To get inspired and feel one have to practice how to connect your brain, eyes and heart. His work made me feel like living in a dream land and I don't want to come out of it. Its bright, colorful, fun. One can look at it for hours spotting different details which gives a feeling of being in a dream land. I had created my own designs by using his component as my inspirations. I generate my own developments by using his elements. I have used various techniques with different colors to make it look more appealing according to our surroundings. All life on earth is fundamentally connected, from the most tiny living things to the strongest ecosystems and utterly between people. Somehow somewhere it is related to humans. And its variation relates the human natures. If we are careful, we are invited to explore natural systems and organisms. Sometimes it's so hard to understand the nature same as sometimes it is hard to understand the human's nature. But if we look the brighter side you will realize that every coin has two. Same as the flower has thorns it also had the beauty in its petals. If we watch a flower petal under the microscope you can come face to face to the beauty of its detail and softness. Same as sometimes the person who look hard from the outside might had the softness inside him. I used the different elements and colors in my design. And I had work on the detail of the patterns. I had tried to show the bright part of the flowers of our surroundings in my designs. The artist generally makes use of acrylics, signs, cages, and liquids, a good way to express complicated. Without the application of pens, inks, markers, paints, and acrylics, abstract forms are transformed into stunning images that look at real life. His colorful drawings of organic shapes and interwoven lines are alluring yet strange, futuristic and practical, and far off from life as usual. Plainly every work or symbolizes the dark, private world, with each boasting an individual ethos and capacity to stir up a great deal of emotion. The offered designs' intimate closeness and fragility are brought out by their intricacy and fine detail as well as by modern natural form rules.Item Arabic calligraphy haroof(UMT Lahore, 2023-08-31) Momna HaiderArabic calligraphy, also known as haroof, is a distinct and intricate type of artistic expression that has long been valued in Islamic culture. Beginning in the seventh century, Islamic calligraphy was widely used to compose the Quran, Islam's sacred book. "Alif," a Pakistani drama, has significantly impacted me. This play has opened my eyes to the transformational power of love and spirituality. Philosophers in the past and present have attempted to support theistic ethics theories. The theory of divine commands asserts unequivocally that morality is in some way dependent on God and that a moral obligation exists to obey God's commands. The theory of divine commands holds that morality is ultimately based on God's commands or character and that the morally correct action is the one that God directs or requires. The precise meaning of this divine command varies according to religion and the views of many theologians, but all versions of this theory agree that moral and moral obligations are ultimately dependent on God. "Alif" is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and one of the most prominent letters in Islamic culture. The ultimate result is a synthesis of history and present that reveals how "Alif" has grown into a spiritual and culturally significant contemporary art icon. I'm excited to use mixed-media textile techniques for my thesis to produce one-of-a-kind, avant-garde things. I can produce one-of-a-kind sculptures that tell a story and transmit a sense of identity by combining numerous processes. By integrating components such as repurposed textiles and natural fibers, I am able to give my creations depth and character. By a thorough review of the extant literature as well as original research and analysis, this thesis sheds light on the intricate interaction between form, function, and meaning in Arabic calligraphy haroof. It investigates the techniques employed by calligraphers to create visually pleasing compositions that are harmonious and balanced while transmitting complex information and concepts. It also looks at the opportunities and challenges modern calligraphers have in a global society and how they adapt to changing social and cultural contexts.Item Mandala art(UMT Lahore, 2023-09-27) Sabaina NaeemMandala is defined as a circular figure representing the universe in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism. Mandalas were created in the service of one of the world's great religions, Buddhism. They were produced in Tibet, India, Nepal, China, Japan, Bhutan, and Indonesia and date from the 4th century to present. Mandala is a square containing a circle, and the entire design is symmetrical and balanced. Some spiritual traditions use mandalas for meditation or for marking a spiritual space. The word mandala itself simply means "circle" in Sanskrit. There are three types of mandalas, the sand mandala, the healing mandala, and the teaching mandala. There are 5 common symbols in mandala which are wheel, bell, triangle, lotus and sun. There are five primary components of a mandala: symmetry, geometry, color, number, and intention. By becoming aware of these attributes and consciously combining them, we can use mandalas to not only transform and empower the spaces in which they are hung but the lives of those who view them as well. Moreover, Mayans, Aztecs, Australian aborigines, and European Catholics all created mandalas in one form or another, but mandalas are most common in Buddhist and Hindu art of the Indian subcontinent. Mandala art helps in generating circular harmony, enhances concentration in children, helps in developing coordination and psychomotor skills, introduction to geometric shapes, helps in increasing self-esteem. The most famous mandala is the Tamia mandala found in Japan, dated to about 763 CE. The Tamia mandala is based on the Contemplation Sutra, but other similar mandalas have been made subsequently. Unlike mandalas used in Vajrayana Buddhism, it is not used as an object of meditation or for esoteric ritual. Pentatonic pens are the perfect tools to create colorful mandalas. Beautiful hues result from combining yellow-orange, blue-green, and purple. Alternatively, go in for yellow-green, blue, and red. Violet, blue-green, and yellow-green are also good color combinations for mandala patterns.Item Indian kalamkari art(UMT Lahore, 2023-09-26) Fizza AfzalThe Indian state of Andhra Pradesh is the origin of the cotton fabric known as kalamkari. In Kalamkari's 33-stage cycle, only frequent tones are used. In India, there are two different styles of kalamkari art: Machilipatnam and Srikalahasti styles. The Srikalahasti way to deal with kalamkari is mostly handcrafted, with the "kalam," or pen, being exercised to inspire the topic and fill the varieties physically. Temples that featured scenes from Hindu epics and saintly images reassured people to discover their own distinct supernatural characters is where this style got its start. It appears on scrolls, stagecoaches, and temple descents. Examples include the Ramayana, Purana, and Mahabharata). Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, who filled in as the All India Crafted works board's most remarkable director, is generally liable for the development's ongoing standing. Chitrakars were musicians and artists who migrated from village to village to share Hindu supposititious tales with the natives. Their stories were illustrated using large canvas bolts that were commonly painted on by hand and dyes made from plant goods. The board panels of Kalamkari found in Hindu temples characterize scenes from Hindu supposititious and folklore, identical to Buddhist Thangka paintings. Countless households in Andhra Pradesh and lean towns in Tamil Nadu (Sikkal Nayakkan Pettai) that were established by migrants from Telugu-speaking households over several races have practiced kalamkari art. Before its creative merits brought it back to conspicuousness in India and elsewhere, Kalamkari tolerated a lengthy period of downturn. The term also adduces to the free choice and block-printed cotton cloth that was repetitive with vegetable dyes in diverse parts of India during the Middle Ages. The kalam is used to implement some colors and draw finer minutiae in areas where the cloth is block printed. Kalamkari must first be drenched in buffalo milk and tonic before being sun-dried. After that, the red, black, brown, and violet segments of the designs are acerbic, and the cloth is drowned in an alizarin bath. The next thing to do is to immerse the fabric while covering it with wax to keep out the blue dye's characters. After the wax has been warped off, the remaining areas are painted by hand to feature Indonesian batik. Artists use a bamboo or date palm stick with a bunch of fine hair imbued to the pointed end to draw design figurations so that it can be used as a brush or pen. In particular, Kalamkari interprets The Ramayana and the Mahabharata to describe discrete Buddhas and their art.Item An eye on Pakistani currency(UMT Lahore, 2023-10-17) Saleha EjazMy art is a modern message that the elements wear. I'm drawn to texture in relation to movement, aging, and pictures. I adore ethnic and native antiques, regional artwork, and anything that expresses a person's identity. I was inspired by the Pakistani currency because I see money as a major entity that can capture the spirit and culture of a certain region. The evolving sequence of money coins and notes can be used to trace the evolution process. I choose this title because, ever since I was a young child, I have had a strong passion for collecting ancient Pakistani currency or any type of currency. I was motivated by Pakistani cash. I'm interested in surface picture development and agriculture. I adore old ethnic and local items from the neighborhood and those that speak to specific behaviors. Pakistani currency is not only the piece of paper it is a complete resolution story. This story started after the separation of the subcontinent. In currency a lot of monuments of Pakistan have been displayed. In currency there is a big role of our mother tongue Urdu which is used in currency as our representative of language. In Pakistani currency, the flag is the most important thing which represents our country. In the flag two colors were used one is the green which represents the Muslims of Pakistan and the other part represents the non Muslim. In Pakistani currency vibrant and dull colors both are used. Our currency represents our culture and traditions and obviously beautiful uses of monuments like Badshahi Masjid, Faisal Mosque, Residency of Quaid e Azam, Minar e Pakistan, Allama Iqbal tomb etc. And there are hundreds of other Islamic motives that were used in Pakistani currency. Pakistani currency is only the representative of Pakistan national heroes, monuments and language.
