Behind every shot lies a thought out process and meaning that according to me accurately translates my abstract theoretical idea ido something symbolic and visual. According to me and the political topic of of my lead article Pakistan lies in a heap of a dust like a broken mirror whose shards reflect not the sky of it's own nations but a morphed version of what life should look like built on ideals passed down to us in a self repressive delirium dating back to the colonization, hence i use the basketball painted red. The red according to me is symbolic of the hate and rage that the nation has gone through first for their colonizers and then for themselves and still seeking their leadership after getting a pseudo version of freedom. Like an algae it attaches itself to  our minds and covers our identity , by covering the face hence the facial expressions and eyes famously regarded as visually key parts of identity in works of many artist i talk about the fracturing of identity, alongside this the television that covers noors head , alludes to the globalisation that has undertaken the world through media dnd oher transnational companies where no culture is safe in it's home town. (DISCLAIMER ; i do not follow this school of thought of globalisation skeptics , it is just an interesting perspective i chose to represent).

My second shot as an aerial shot is just an extension of the first where the covering of eyes and the red carry the same meaning , however getting it in another angle and stylistically different helps show the abstract nature of the visualization and accentuates the representative function of my models where they themselves are not being paraded around as celebrities. However by using an aerial shot I delve further into the meaning of powerlessness and and being swamped ina sea of red ( red represents a sticky algae like covering that prevents from Pakistan's identity from creating any self growth.) Further emphasises the existence of something unnatural or a history that  old someone or something back.

My third Shot where the models themselves pu their hands over eyes as a high angle shot is a commentary on the how this powerlessness and amalgamation of identity that exist within Pakistan is helped along by its own throttling hands that looks towards the IMF and WTO's model of of development . By deciding to sit on the shoulders of western growth of model and looking towards their culture with a heart full of self deprecation it can easily be commented that Pakistan has become its own identity's butcher. 

By using the 4th shot i create a visualization that falls away from my other shots which uses human models, By doing this I comment on the messy existence of this problem that exists with or without Pakistanis adding to it. The alienation one feels when looking at a  frypan sitting not in a kitchen where it belongs but sitting ina dark corner with a mysterious red light alongside a kitchen exhaust pipe that should be hanging from a ceiling or attached to some working part , but lies dauntingly on a r=frypan comments on the coming together of unnatural forces to create something that should not have been. To further break it down it comments on the alienating and isolating feeling that the identity of Pakistani's undergoes from the onslaught of a western culture and that is both hated and adored , of seeking to be and hating to be themselves and of constantly blaming their own nation for its shortcoming as a nation of jahil ( unethical and immoral) peoples making things worse while failing to see a the bigger picture where we live in our own country and continue to look towards our once colonizers to provide us with our history.
