Going Inwards is a research-based video art project delving into collective traumas and indigenous healing in Pakistan, focusing on Sufi shrines and water bodies. It explores Sufi mythologies of crocodiles, hot springs, and the number 7, blurring reality and fiction. The work highlights Karachi’s disconnection from nature, emphasizing water’s duality – water scarcity and floods. It connects water’s fluidity to the non-linear nature of healing.
