Image Statement: When a light source moves along the tapestry face, different areas ripple like sunlight or moonshine on water, creating areas of brightness, of hope. Barely contributing to global warming, Pakistan nevertheless suffers its worst consequences. Seeing themselves reflected in images responding to flood waters, makes the viewer complicit in the crisis, and responsible for remedial mitigation. These works communicate cause and effect to inform industrialized perpetrators about undeserved loss and trauma at the other end of the world.
