WE CAN FIX IT draws inspiration from the storefront graphics of phone repair shops in Jackson Heights, Queens. Majeed translates this everyday commercial language into ceramic, creating an A-frame sign bearing the titular phrase, rendered in a medium defined by its brittleness. The work sits within Majeed's broader inquiry into how identity and history are carried through visual systems: state iconography, family records, and the aesthetic language of the Pakistani diaspora.
time is a flat circle is open through August 1. The Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday 11-6.
