The Expired Film Experiment no.1 and 2, emerges from my thesis trip to Southern Pakistan in the fall of 2023, In which I chose to seek visual answers to the questions of statelessness, questions of the contemporary Pakistani identity and an investigation into a longing of a home long-lost, by focusing on my grandmother who came to Karachi from Mumbai as a refugee after the 1947 Partition of the Indian motherland.

Intimate family moments, conversations, and trips are captured in these photographs which have a striking hue of the pink and purple color spectrum, which was the natural result of using expired film to capture these images. These were taken in the metropoli of  Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore.
