Covid 19 majorly disrupted the normal flow of the course and made it very difficult to make work without regular access to the studios and workshops at the end of first year and majority of third year. The freedom of the fine art degree was really refreshing and allowed me to make any artwork I wanted. The library facilities were incredible. Art materials were expensive...

I studied from the University of The Punjab, Old campus from department of the fine--arts. Though I learnt a-lot from my university but still I think there were a-lot of things that were missing. like preparing students for an international market.
