The mountains in the background are made from large stones, while the buildings and ladder are carved from wood and finished with stones.The trees are made with pieces of twigs and herbs.
The wooden frames with crushed stones in the corners are the artist's signature frames.
The house is a typical example of one found in Gilgit, in Gilgit-Balastan in remote valleys. It is quite primitive in some of thee rural areas, as water has to be carried to homes, and there is no electricity.
The artist would actually love to live in a valley such as this- if it were not populated. There are never people in his works, you will notice. He loves to be close to Nature and such a house would be his ideal, although he might miss electricity to recharge his laptop!
