Painted in 2023 by the late Lollywood billboard artist Mohsin Masih in Islamabad, this hand-painted canvas poster bears the title “Khajistan” in stylized Urdu script at the top. Below, a figure’s head is cradled between two raised legs adorned with bangles and heels. Its vermilion palette and ornamental details evoke the theatrical flair of Punjabi stage shows. The composition recreates a community-submitted photograph originally shared on Khajistan’s now-defunct Instagram account.
