题目：抱歉带来不便，工作正在进行!　　

描述：展览旨在讨论当今社会的不平衡和全球化带来的影响。并强调巴基斯坦的现状。近年来全球媒体聚焦巴基斯坦。巴基斯坦,作为一个新国家不仅需要在批判的外界环境下维持生存,它同时也支持打击恐怖主义。其文化是由非常多样化的社会团体组成,在近代的历史中英国起着主要影响。　

我也设想了一个视觉特别的装置标题：抱歉眼前不便。它讨论到全球贸易的问题,和其对国内市场和世界各地的贫穷人们的影响。

Title: Sorry for inconvenience, work in progress!!!

Description: The exhibition discusses the misbalance in present society and effects of globalization. It also highlights the current situation of Pakistan. In recent years world’s media has focused on Pakistan. Pakistan, being a new country not only deals with its own survival under critical circumstances but it also supports fight against terrorism. Its culture is consist of very diverse communities and in most recent history British has been a major influence.

I have also creating a sight specific instillation title: sorry for inconvenience. The instillation talks about the issues of global trade, its effects on the local market and poor people around the globe.
