Hashmi is currently teaching as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture and Design at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology , Islamabad. Statement Combining their different skill sets, Amna Hashmi, a visual artist, specializing in miniature painting, and Luís Felipe Keresztes Bigatto, a software engineer, wish to explore the possibilities of multiple ‘endings’ that one could reach through the choices one makes and the narratives that form from each choice’s journey. All events in life are interconnected with each other, yet, depending on the choices one makes, the results can be entirely different.
