'Alvares explores the nuances of daily life through the ever-evolving themes of Urbanism, through frequent documentation and re-documentation. Her work explores the immediate surrounding of her space, a space she grew up in, one that has watch evolve each day. There is an interest in the everyday life of the city. Alvares understands her surrounding and creates work that portrays the spatial present with historical context. She investigates urban aspirations of security as well as a contrasting need to beautify the space by building floral façades over bleak and rigid urban planning. The bougainvillea plant becomes the protagonist for the artist, as well as a vantage point from where she understands the ever-expanding metropolis. Otherwise overlooked, Alvares brings to focus this plant that continues to mold to human expectation, which, unobtrusively commandeers the Karachi backdrop. The resulting artwork becomes like specimens of her journey and experience, and allows the viewer to see the city from her vantage point.'
