Normally, Asim is a man on a mission,
but with this home, he did things
differently. “I did not want to follow
any rules or set limits, but wanted to
experiment with colours, materials,
fabrics, etc. I wove colours together,
mixed them in unusual ways, and
offset them with my collection of
charcoal paintings, colourful Masks
and stone and wooden sculptures.”
