Description
Note: This is one the paintings for my final thesis project.

Short summary of the main theme:
A simple but highly important issue in collective idea of life is that “human beings” has a meaning. But the “meaning of man” is something that is likely been buried long ago. It is something very rarely considered that “the life of man is important in some way”. Not many in this busy life know for sure who or what a man actually is or should be according to many important things. The sense of true belief is missing. A belief on something, a meaning that makes man all precious and important as he should be, because he is. This buried thought is depicted as something that is rejected just like a crumpled paper. An old thought thrown away as mankind aged along time and swirl of the world.

Reference and inspirational aspects:
Combination of a few quotes and my own taste with this particular topic, I chose some selected verses from the exclusively divine poetry of Allama Iqbal’s.

Title:
Crumpled notion of self II. The Wanderer.

Painting theme:
Selected verse for this specific piece is,

Koee ab tak na samjha ke insaan,
Kahan jata hay, ata hay kahan se. (Iqbal)

Paraphrase: Still now no one knows that a man goes where, came forth from where.

Symbols:
Crumpled surfaces: Thing in rejection
Figure: As a wanderer

Media:
Oil on canvas.

Size:
4’ X 2.5’ feet
