Born and raised in Lahore, Batool's artistic journey is deeply intertwined with her cultural heritage, and her works serve as metaphors for the political upheavals and tumultuous history of her country. Her oeuvre is characterized by a diverse range of mediums, including painting, printmaking, and digital art. This multidisciplinary approach allows her to experiment with form and technique, resulting in a body of work that is both visually arresting and intellectually stimulating. In Thandi Sarak, Cold Street, she uses lenticular prints (3-d holographic photographs) to magnify and examine the fear that is spread throughout Pakistan and the many citizens, children in this case, who have suffered at the hands of the regime. The double-faceted layering of lenticular prints allows the viewer to reflect upon the artist's duel perspective, where the children appear to be protected but are in fact unable to be free.
