This piece represents a kind of autobiographical vision. I use myself to create all the figures, sometimes employing masks from the Noh theater to vary my persona. A sea of richly colored figures floating and flying are accompanied by eerie sounds. The animated figures are constructed in the manner of puppetry and collage. The imagery continues until the artist's involvement with her "canvases" is revealed, with her performative self finally emerging.
The story of SIDESTAGE is one of Theatre. That moment before you step onstage, when suddenly every worry floods your mind, and the thick stage makeup suddenly feels too heavy, and you know you look ridiculous. You can't remember your queues, your blocking, you don't even know if anyone is in the audience to see you. But then your queue comes up, and it all fades away, and the show goes on.
Wahdat-ul-Wujood explores the concept of oneness and the human journey through separation, conflict, and return. Inspired by the philosophy of Wahdat al-Wujood (Unity of Being), the film reflects on how all existence emerges from a single source but becomes fragmented through identity, ego, and the divisions created by the world. The story begins in a cosmic void, where two souls emerge from a singular thread, symbolizing unity in its purest form. As they descend into history and move through different eras of the subcontinent, they become increasingly distant through war, cultural conflict, and shifting identities. Transitioning from abstract cosmic spaces to contemporary Pakistan, the film mirrors both a personal and collective search for meaning and connection. Through poetic storytelling and symbolic imagery, the film ultimately leads the souls back toward oneness, suggesting that beneath all separation, humanity remains deeply connected.
