Apart from our daily colloquial language, there is one medium that lets us communicate without any words. If you’re an avid art lover, you probably know what I’m talking about. If you’re not, please allow me to introduce you to the most articulate expression, that is art. In all its glory, it is art that helps you transcend into a parallel universe that often serves as an escape from the harsh reality.
And that is exactly what happened when I came across an illustration series, titled ‘Pakistan+’. Brought to life by Lahore-based Illustrator and concept artist, Omar Gilani, the entire series captures the essence of Pakistan and blends it with the futuristic view, turning everyday images into stills from a sci-fi movie.
Wait till you see his creation. Actually, don’t. Here goes!

6. Catching a rickshaw

8. City lights

12. By the highway/flyway
13. Gully cricket!
14. Village fair
15. ‘Pull over!’
16. Terrestrial and extraterrestrial

18. Begging alms
19. Sitar player

Now, isn’t that interesting? Hence proved, art reaches places where people don’t!
