Serigraph on paper

Zarina Hashmi led a peripatetic life as the wife of an Indian diplomat whose official posting took the duo to different corners of the world. Coupled with the contemporary tectonic shift of the Partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947, which resulted in her family eventually moving to Pakistan from Aligarh in India, the notions of home, boundary and rootedness/ rootlessness came to occupy a central position in her art practice. She once said, “I just made my personal life the subject of my art.” This Untitled serigraph, like most others she made on the subject, is a succinct comment on the external factors—denoted by the black space—slowly overwhelming the vulnerable space of home—indicated by the white corner—with the veritable threat of destroying it, along with the lives of those who inhabit it.
