Jamil Hussain
Ceramic Artist
The built-heritage that was once my obsession, has now been turned into a passion for different art forms; a mission to promote and a national obligation to create an awareness to preserve it for our posterity. A flower in a garden may not attract a passerby. But if the same flower becomes a part of a flower arrangement and is placed in a drawing room it attracts the attention of everybody. With the same considerations, I have selected some dilapidated, neglected, forgotten elements of monuments which no one bothers to look at. Through my ceramic work, I have endeavored to create an awareness to save our built-heritage from the avarice of land-mafia, the plaza culture of our town-developers and negligence of our heritage-managers.
