Hi, this is Laiba. I`ve spent seventeen years within the walls of a grand colonial-era home, where every archway felt like a piece of my own soul. Returning to find those corridors hollowed of their history broke my heart, teaching me that buildings are far more than stone—they are the vessels of our identity and shared belonging.That firsthand grief became my mission, driving me into the winding streets of Old Karachi. Today, I document our city’s fading treasures to ensure that even if the limestone crumbles, our collective memory remains etched in time for us all.
