Industry of Dissolving Portraits
Nursing homes have now become a growing industry in Pakistan, and this phenomenon is rising partly because of a rise in globalization, modernization, and urbanization. It is true that industrialization and modernization have created new job opportunities, but at the same time, it has also created a vacuum for elderly folks as they are left behind at native homes by their children. The familial system disparity has also declined, and the state of older people has been compromised and undermined by modernization. In the coming years, more parents and seniors will land in nursing homes as society evolves and the mold of the norm with the new generation paradigm. Due to a lack of structure, professional staff, and unequipped facilities in Pakistan, nursing homes have become deeply rooted in the feeling that depicts the lack of purpose in life. In the absence of a social support system, the residents of nursing homes are the vulnerable victims of depression extended by the emotional consciousness in the spam of isolation and loneliness. It’s the need of the hour that the Pakistani nursing home department as well as profit, and non-profit organizations start working on researching and reforming the structure of nursing homes with the specialized skilled team in the field of gerontology. This issue needs proper attention. Otherwise, it will become the corporate commercial industry similar to the Pakistani education and health sector.

Lahore Neoliberal Estate Penumbra
It is a photography-based book but is not merely a coffee table photo book. Between 2019 and 2021, I dedicated my entire time to conducting primary and secondary research contemplating the changing urban landscape of the city of Lahore in Pakistan, the unchecked control of private entities over the city and its consequences. I conducted several interviews of people from different walks of life in an attempt to untangle the mess of the real estate sector. There were many contradictions in the findings: official information is either absent or it contradicts with what individuals in official capacity had to tell me on conditions of anonymity. And this is what the outcome exactly is: the real estate sector in the city is an absolute mess. The deliberate lack of transparency from official authorities has paved the way for illegalities to take place, and there remains absolutely no accountability. I have attempted to break down this issue by providing an overview of neoliberalism, how it affects society, the economy, democracy, and what it has done to the urban fabric of Lahore in particular. Then the book goes further into the details of how land authorities work in Lahore and where the loopholes are. It also discusses neoliberal architecture in the local context and the intersectionality of advertisement billboards in manipulating minds towards neoliberal agendas.
