Working at the intersection of art, material inquiry, and embodied research, his practice spans drawing, installation, sculpture, and video.

Romantic Provocations is a roaming, shape-shifting exhibition that blurs the borders between art, science, politics, and public imagination. Part laboratory, part collective pause, it invites visitors into a living system where romance becomes method and friction becomes fuel. Across eight provocations, from algorithmic desire to intimacy by design, artists, scientists, and designers unsettle familiar narratives and open new ones. Multiple storylines unfold at once. Conversations remain porous. Ideas migrate across cities and disciplines, gathering new meaning as they travel and it all begins at WOW in Karachi. Visitors don’t simply observe; they participate in a slow, evolving negotiation of belief, desire, care, and disobedience. The result is a living archive of contradictions, gestures, and connections: a collective attempt to build worlds where love is disruptive, ambiguity is defended, and complexity is a shared inheritance
