Who killed Shumaila?
What is our fascination with an unsolved crime? Is it the excitement of coming up with various theories or guessing who the killer is? Is it not knowing the unknown and trying to unravel given clues? “Who Killed Shumaila?” is about a crime committed but remained unsolved. With the use of family photos a personal link was created between the artwork and the artist.
