Here, the fly itself is formed through zoomorphic calligraphy — the Urdu word ‘makhi’ (fly) rendered into the shape of what it signifies. Each encounter with it becomes an act of both reading and killing, collapsing language, image, and gesture into a single loop. The work extends from the familiar Urdu phrase “makhiyan maar raha hoon” — a colloquial admission of idleness, of doing nothing of consequence — transforming that expression into an interactive metaphor for boredom in the digital age.

Nothing is at stake, yet the player continues. Each action is both precise and meaningless, performed against an endlessly resetting field. The work mirrors a technological condition where engagement is valued over outcome — where doing becomes its own justification.

Through this stripped-down interaction, the piece reflects on boredom as both a psychological state and a creative impulse. It gestures toward the absurd beauty of persistence without progress — a quiet study of how even the most trivial motion can reveal our need to act, to respond, to matter, even when the world offers no reason to.
