This project is very close to my heart. It is based on Bibi Pak Daman, a sacred place that gives me a deep sense of peace and stillness every time I visit. Through my photographs, I’ve tried to capture the quiet beauty of the area the surroundings, the walls, the small details that hold so much meaning.When I go there, I feel numb, where everything else fades. I stop thinking about the past or the future. It’s like time stands still. There’s a calmness that surrounds me,and I just want to sit there quietly for hours. The sound of people reciting Noha touches my soul. Slowly, I’ve felt myself becoming part of it, wanting to recite along with them. This connection is what I’ve tried to show in my work the spiritual energy, the silence, and the unexplainable pull that this place has on me. The process of creating these paintings started with my visits to Bibi Pak Daman.I felt something strong and peaceful there. Over time, I started noticing the details around me the colors, the textures, the way light fell on the walls. I began by taking photographs of these moments small things that spoke to me, like prayer cloths tied on tree, or the locks on the grill of shrine. These images became my reference and inspiration. When I came back to the studio, I didn’t try to copy the photos exactly. Instead, I focused on the feeling I had while being there the silence, the emotional pull, the sacred energy. I used layers of paint, soft brushstrokes. In some paintings, I left parts unfinished or blurred, to show how memory feels incomplete, but powerful.. Every painting was like a personal prayer, a way to hold on to that numbness and peace that I felt while sitting in Bibi Pak Daman.
