As many as 13 students of fine arts, textile design and communication design presented their final-year thesis projects at the Arts Council of Pakistan, Karachi, between January 18 and January 23. All the students were enrolled in the four-year diploma programme offered at the Arts Council of Pakistan.
Mahnoor Khan, a student of fine arts, using oil on canvas, portrayed the recycling process in her thesis work.
She explained how bacteria was a key component of the life cycle. According to her, the project titled ‘Mystery of life’ tried to challenge conventions.
“The only thing that comes to our head after hearing the word bacteria is illness, but the fact is human being cannot live without bacteria. Likewise, life doesn’t end but it transitions into another form,” she explained.

Another fine arts student, Roma Rustakhiza, explored ‘Dreams’ in her charcoal-based artwork. “I painted both good and bad dreams with the message not to ignore them because they guide you and tell you about your future,” she elaborated.
Maheen Waqar’s project title was ‘Sites of Possibilities’, through which she attempted to portray the endless possibilities of life and existence.
“The ideas I implemented in my thesis are used wheels, compass, arrows and watches and many other objects to tell the audience about the road-map for successful and positive nature.”

Speaking to The Express Tribune, Munir Shah, who teaches at the Arts Council and also supervised the work of three students, said that students had the freedom to decide their own topics. “We encourage them to choose topics that may pose legal or moral dilemmas,” he said.
The six-day exhibition ends Thursday (today).
