In the Urdu language, the word Khayaal translates to care, thought, and attentiveness. At the root of this definition is the spirit of taking care of and being polite to others.
For Tazeen Qayyum, a Pakistan-born contemporary visual artist based in Oakville, Ontario, this one word from her native language served as the inspiration for her latest project, Khayaal.
Khayaal is both a performative video and a life-size drawing and will be featured at the TD beacon branch at Queen and Bay Streets in downtown Toronto.
