An overhead view of Tazeen Qayyum. She is seated in the centre of an elevated platform with a white canvas covering its surface. She is drawing repeated line formations to form a circle around herself, enacting a meditative, durational performance. The result of the mark-making is an abstract drawing that shows the artist’s attentive care, patience and commitment.
