'it all comes down to a dot' shifts between formal and narrative meaning. A metaphor for the brutal precision of an argument that resolves or shatters a point of contention, it hangs over the viewer with its ominous singularity. Yet it is also an elongated representation of the diacritic nuqta or dot form used to differentiate between different letters in the Urdu alphabet, (no less than 17 of the 39 basic letters). A fundamental element in making sense, it describes nothing of what Ruheel thinks about it, or what he feels. It is simply a nuqta. It is what it is.
