Behind the picturesThe joke has
The joke has
a point.
World in Jest is an independent editorial-art project by Ahsen Shah, based in London.
It looks at the gap between what power says and what people experience. Politics, public promises and international affairs become visual stories — sometimes absurd, sometimes uncomfortable, always inviting a closer look.
Whimsical
Expressive caricatures, visual puns and the theatre of public life.
Serious
Conceptual dioramas and symbolic scenes exploring injustice and consequence.
The target is power and its contradictions — never the people bearing the cost.
