Lives and works in Chittagong, Bangladesh

Artist statement

“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” I quote Rumi to state my diaristic works. Each day I encounter the world, I perceive. My lived experiences communicate, and collaborate with the community through research, reflection, and rethinking and transcend it to artworks I create. My artistic interest expands to issues like the environment and climate change, femininity, Interaction in the public realm, examining social, cultural, and conventional orthodox ideas, autobiographical experiences communicative to human emotions, Empathy, and critical engagement with Social Media.
