This work captures an evening scene from my village, when buffaloes return home at dusk. The quiet passage of sunset spreads a warm reflection across land and water, filling the atmosphere with shifting tones of brown, orange, and blue. I was drawn to the way light transforms the landscape, softening the edges of fields while stretching long shadows behind the animals as they walk together. This simple memory of evening herds has stayed with me, symbolizing the daily rhythm of rural life a moment of return that carries both familiarity and comfort. Above, the sky becomes an active presence: patterns of birds in flight spread across it, their movements appearing almost like shifting letters of Urdu and Arabic script. For me, they seem to echo the rhythm of prayer, as if nature itself joins in devotion at this hour. Through this work, I seek to preserve not only the visible landscape but also the calm, continuity, and spiritual resonance that dusk embodies.
