Now their life has become virtual and lifestyle become mechanical

Water makes it way over the pebbles

I pray wherever she is

Homeland 1 Paintings_Mix Media Handmade Paper Now their life has becomeThe artwork is from the Homeland series. I attempt to tell the story of where I live with these photos. Tales from the colonial era, the partition, and my family history. How, along with many others, my grandfather traveled to India before 1947 from Bangladesh. For him and the community, what does the land mean? With the aid of community and personal tales, I attempt to depict the timeline of shifting land identity in this piece of work.
