Curatorial Statement,
Kasb-e-Kamal Kun
Between the
anywhen of time and the anywhere of place
a missing piece is to be drawn.
Poetry lacks definition, so –
the hand crafts its own poetry
leaving its verse behind
in a minutia of traces.
I am no more cognitive – and
my hand is path, trajectory, flight,
a settled motion,
precision of the tool.
Hinging onto another, I am the fragment that
fulfils the existence of the matrix of the rest.
I am the missing piece.
Prof. Dr. Murtaza Jafri
