This print captures a mesmerizing sight - a general view of the British era Empress Market building in Karachi, Pakistan. Standing tall against the urban cityscape, this historic structure is adorned with a clock dial that intriguingly lacks hands. The low angle view emphasizes its grandeur and immensity as it reaches for the sky. The absence of hands on the clock face sparks curiosity and invites contemplation about time's fleeting nature. This creative use of architecture leaves room for interpretation, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own relationship with time and how it shapes our lives. Surrounded by an open expanse of air and sky, this tower stands as a testament to both past glory and present potential. With no people in sight, it symbolizes the timeless beauty of architectural marvels that transcend generations. The Empress Market building serves as a reminder of Karachi's rich history while seamlessly blending into its bustling city life. Its presence adds character to the environment, harmoniously merging nature and man-made structures. Akhtar Soomro's skillful composition captures not only the physicality but also the essence of this iconic landmark. Through his lens, he immortalizes this timepiece frozen in stillness within an ever-changing world.
