What does ‘art’ mean to you?
“Art” to me has always been an exercise in feeding ones ego in the disguise of self expression. I’m all about designing with a consumer in mind. Today it’s more about sensationalism and I’m all for it! I want the pieces to be obnoxiously loud and for the space to become secondary. For me, it has to start a conversation or it’s not effective. It’s like an outfit, is it really worth it unless someone comments on it?
DECEMBER 23, 2018 | 52
Who/what is your work influenced by? What does your art identify with? (Your inspirations etc)
My work is influenced by cultural displacement, market trends and exploiting social media. My first and last inspiration will always be Francisco Goya (though my work is antithetical). His exploration of iconocizing superstition and exploring the human condition has always stuck with me. Also, a sucker for Duchamp’s Fountain and how the placement of an object can determine its perceived value.
The very first piece I created was a drawing of a ship, that looked like a fish. I was 2 years old, and my mother gave it back to me after I graduated from Parsons. It only seemed right that the first painting I put out in my 2018 collection was a family of sardines.
weekend | Fashion
What was the very first piece you created?
What is your preferred medium to work with, and why?
DECEMBER 23, 2018 | 53
I love graphite and charcoal. The amount of depth you can achieve with the simplest mediums is exciting. When it comes to painting, I have no patience for oil, so I stick with acrylics and inks on canvas. Luckily for me acrylics happen to be the perfect medium to help achieve the child-like aesthetic I wanted to explore with this collection.
weekend | Fashion
How would you describe your current collection/pieces?
This collection has two major influences: 1. Duchamp’s Fountain. The act of placing an ordinary object in a glorified space and therefore redefining its value and existence. 2. This quote that I came across, “...They say Rothko killed himself because he met the people who bought his art”. To play off mass production and commercial trends to appeal to a mass audience whilst highlighting the disinterest in conceptual work but rather a flashy mass produced image that starts to represent more than what it is intended to. It’s contradictory because my work disregards the selfimportance of conceptual art by disguising itself as a colorful prop- which is what I believe art has become today.
Your work was once commented on as ‘ our social conscience, delivering up uncomfortable and unpleasant truths wrapped in the most beautifully welcoming & seductive of packages.’ Are there any more memorable responses you have received for your work? “My 6 year old could make that.” - It’s always one that sticks. Haha
Is there anyone in particular you would like to create a piece for? Who would it be, and why? I would love to create a piece for Raf Simons. His private collection has some of my favorite pieces and he’s brought some of my favorite artists to the commercial radar, like Sterling Ruby. DECEMBER 23, 2018 | 54
Where are your artworks available for sale? How should people contact you? I’ve launched this collection specifically in Lahore. Slide into my Dm’s on Instagram. @pardonmypixels and inquire away.
I will periodically reveal pieces as they become available for sale in my Instagram stories

Shobak Castle
Time for a quick visit to the ruins of this castle, en route to Petra & Wadi Rum. On the way up, you will encounter Abu Ali in his cave, decorated with Jordanian handiwork and portraits of the Hashemite family. Definitely take the time out to visit the cutest VW Beetle pimped up as the ‘world’s smallest hotel’!

Petra
20 years later I finally made it! The sight of the Treasury (commonly mistook as ‘Petra’ which is in fact an entire city) was an overwhelming moment (especially if you’re blindfolded by your friends.) Do make sure you do the trek to the top (p.s: I would totally recommend the way taken by the Bedouins which hardly takes 10 min, as opposed to the neatly carved steps which can take over an hour) Also, the Bedouins are truly the coolest, most hospitable people you can meet there.

Salt
Being my friend’s hometown, Salt was surely to be on the list. Quaint little city with lots of steps, (major muscle burn) Salt is also now being considered as a UNESCO heritage site. Spend a couple of hours soaking in the culture and enjoy brunch at this gorgeous, sunny, little café ‘Beit Aziz.’ December 16, 2018 | 5a
Wadi Rum
Just like the Dead Sea, a night out, camping in the desert is a must. We stayed at the ‘Desert Rose Camp’ (although we ended up sleeping outside on the sand) and it was an absolute dream! Beautiful view, brilliant food, good company from the camp team and of course a night of unplugged dancing, which had to start with Jenno Notto
A stunning place with lots to offer from delicious food to ancient ruins. Al Balad, the older part of the city, is rich with historical ruins including the Citadel with the remains of the Temple of Hercules and the Roman Amphitheater right opposite it! Make sure to have breakfast (cooked to perfection) at ‘Shams Al-Balad’. If you’re looking for a chilled night out, it should definitely be at ‘Copas Central’. ‘The District’ or ‘The Loft’ for something fancier. Best Knafeh in town is at ‘Habeeba’ hands down!

Helps in dissolving double chin fats for a much thinner constructed chin. Injectables are given in one session a month on the affected areas in order to reduce the fat over a period of time.
Cool Tech One of the most popular non- surgical body sculpting options that has replaced liposuction. Freezing and destroying fat cells, this procedure works on all parts of the body. For those whose pockets of fats do not respond to diet or exercise and are struggling with bulging tummies, love handles, bra fat or banana rolls, this may be the way to go.

Laser Hair Removal
One of the most asked for procedures for eliminating thick and dark hair from the face or other parts of the body. This is a great alternative to constant waxing or threading which can be time consuming, painful and require periods of regrowth time. The amount of laser sessions required depends on the thickness and volume of hair. Biggest bonus? There’s no downtime!
Fillers
5
For those who are a big fan of Angelina Jolie’s chiseled face or Kylie Jenner’s pouty lips and are into non-invasive effective procedures with natural results. For smooth reshaping of nose and enhancement of lips, cheeks or chin this is the way to go. Fillers can also help reduce lines and wrinkles by replacing diminished volume due to aging.
4
There is no age for botox with people starting as early as their 20’s to 30’s. Whether you’d like to relax your frown, treat lines before they appear prominently, get some neck lifting or have your droopy eyelids and brows lifted, botox is the recommended non-invasive solution. Through botox square and round jaws can also be treated for a more feminine and oval look. (This is rumored to be the way Kylie changed her prominent jawline to a softer one)

HiFu
High intensity focused ultrasound is a non-surgical face and body lift which does not involve any downtime, needles or cuts. HiFu increases collagen, hence does wonders in face and neck lifting.
