Nageen made this artwork in October when the political war was going on in Pakistan and America. The idea is briefly described in her artistic statement attached below.
This work got a new meaning when a prediction was accidentally made by the portraits of Imran Khan and Donald Trump those she painted holding flowers in their hands has defeated their opponents.

Medium: Mix Media
Size: 20 by 30cm (38 by 48cm with frame)

Artist statement:
The apparent rivalries between Nawaz Shareef & Imran Khan in Pakistan and Donald Trump & Hilary Clinton in the USA are sarcastically fantasized as a depiction of Mughal era love story from miniature painting ’Shah Jahan Mumtaz Mahal Mughal’ in modern time. In Nageen’s view, the continuous stress between both parties is actually a form of affection with the assumption of pressuring party being more compassionate.
