His artwork is Under the Sehra, an evocative oil painting on canvas. The title itself is a cultural reference, evoking the ritualistic concealment and intense anticipation associated with the ceremonial veil (Sehra) worn by a groom. The artist intentionally uses this powerful metaphor to explore the concept of hidden realities or complex feelings that exist just beneath the surface of public presentation.
The artwork challenges the audience to look beyond the initial visual simplicity and engage with the layers of concealed truth. By referencing the Sehra, the artist encourages viewers to question the nature of performance and expectation in life's important moments.
