LAHORE : The Lahore Arts Council (Alhamra), in collaboration with Roses of Humanity, inaugurated an art exhibition at Ustad Allah Bux Gallery, here on Saturday.

The exhibition features an installation of 15,000 handcrafted flowers. This deeply symbolic showcase delivers a stirring message of peace, friendship, and collective compassion. Conceptualized by artist Nuria Rafiq Iqbal, the display has received wide public acclaim for its originality and emotional resonance.

Audiences and social media users alike have praised the powerful narrative embedded in the artwork. Curated by Ameera Haroon, with support from Sehar Bashir, the exhibition invites reflection and empathy through art.
