Muzzumil Ruheel uses meticulously rendered Urdu Calligraphy as the basis of his works. The artist’s wider practice is about metaphorical interpretations; investigating perceptions about social to mundane events usually based on their documented narratives. He delves into the idea of conversation; from private conversations to confrontational ones he talks of the presence as well the absence of words. In his play of words he twists, mirrors, repeats, isolates alphabets from collected personal and marginalized accounts pointing to the fundamental ways in which our stories are written. The rigorous use of calligraphy amplifies a sense of mystery for the viewer, where we can read the text but a coherent meaning cannot be extracted from any of the texts.
