Traces of Becoming

Artwork: Waqas Khan, Traces of Becoming, 2026, Archival ink on wasli paper

Exquisite detail of Pakistan artist Waqas Khan’s work on paper, Traces of Becoming. Khan wrote this about the work:

“Every mark is a moment.
Every layer is a measure of time.
The image emerges not through certainty, but through persistence”
