The Price of Being Hur

A Life Lived Free

What does the free one want when he is not performing freedom?

About the work

A memoir-like narrative of freedom, identity, performance, desire, memory, Karachi, love, anxiety, commitment, and consequence.

The work traces the tension between a name that means free and a life shaped by systems, expectation, desire, and consequence. Karachi, school, anxiety, love, travel, and commitment become the architecture through which the self is tested.
