'Pasoori' - Coke Studio Season 14

Inspired by Mucha/Art nouveau posters, I combined the Western elements with Asian elements to create a piece about the metaphorical death and rebirth that occurs through suffering. The concept that one can learn to dance through the pain because fire not only destroys, it also creates and cleanses. Much like fire, dance is also a form of creation like the deep red of the jacket and both allow transmutation. The skulls and flowers allow for this to really be seen as "where there is ruin, there is treasure to be found" (Maulana Rumi). This piece was inspired by the song 'Pasoori' from Coke Studio Season 14.
