A Fable from Project’s visual Artist
During the visit to Ziarat residency in 2019, beauty of the structure caught my mind, I have seen this building many times in my life, on different net searches but I never found that anyone worked in so much detail especially in CGI, So… I decided to work on the project from scratch and the aim was to get done with this before 25th of December as it is the special day for our nation’s Father and this place is the one of the reminders of his presence.
While re-creating, this quote was the supreme goal; *Take the best that exist and make it better* by Henry Royce. So, in addition to the structure which is currently present, I provide some more facilities within the premises, as we must strive for perfection in everything we do.
