The aesthetics of Gandhara, its iconography, use of material, craftsmanship and Jatka Tales are the inspiration behind the current series titled “Dhyāna” (photographs and mixed media artworks). The term refers to meditation and the series highlights the variation of visual representation of Buddha. These works were produced in different Buddhist sites at Taxila and Swat with renowned archaeologists and research scholars Dr. Ghani-ur-Rahman, Dr. Ijlal Hussain, Dr. Fasiha Hussain, Mr. Farhat Shafiq from Quaid-e-Azam University and Silk Road Center.
