In this painting, I have a fascination for objects that would be considered commonplace by veteran Bostonians. The radiator is the centerpiece of the composition, alongside a green halogen lamp that I later came to know was an inherent part of every student dorm. A prayer rug lies in the foreground, among autumn leaves. The lizards are a fond reminder of the ones you would see crawling on the walls during summer in Pakistan, while the squirrels represent the local fauna in Boston.
