Love song
Vultures sing the love song of a city both beloved and beleaguered.
Popup paper constructed art works set the stage for old family photographs and the opulence of urban architecture in Karachi from the 60s and 70s. The calm of which is slowly taken over by the movement and frenzied laughter of vultures singing the love song of a city both beloved and beleaguered.
