Aslam's recent work consists of chemically modified inkjet prints using charts of financial instruments to create layered paintings which speak to a time when stock markets decouple from reality and drift away.

Another recent work, film ‘NANG’, a noir musical, takes place in a car journey in London, where the driver and passenger are absent and instead their place is taken by the drug Nitrous Oxide. A gaseous ether which emerges in the city, referencing the historic London fog and presenting an experience of a city that is self medicating.
