Shahzia Sikander
The images in the portfolio, "No Parking Anytime", invite slow and thoughtful contemplation. The title says: Hurry---you must not stop. But the art says: Stop, think. One aspect of the work subverts the other. Two ideas are held simultaneously, and they are mysteriously equal in impact. A precise meaning, a lesson, is difficult to come by, but somehow, we are left with hope. And the poetry is unmistakable.
