Paper Houses

Paper Houses by Zarina Hashmi (often known simply as Zarina) is a deeply personal and evocative art book that reflects themes of memory, displacement, and the idea of home. Rooted in her own life experiences—especially migration and exile—the work explores how spaces and boundaries shape identity.

The book features a series of minimalist prints and visual works, where architectural forms such as houses, walls, and city layouts are rendered with delicate lines and subtle textures. Rather than depicting physical homes in detail, Zarina conveys emotional landscapes—suggesting longing, belonging, and the fragility of place.
