"Memory that is layered, fragmented and evolving, is a constant dynamic in my work. At the core of my art practice is an exploration of my roots, nature and elements that trigger, layer and construct memory. Growing up in Bangladesh and now living in France, always remind me about my roots and associated memories from that time. "Monsoon Rain" is a series of my very recent works. Monsoon is a part of life in south east Asia. Rain has sounds that is created when it touches a surface during monsoon. It has smell as well and also creates a feelings when it’s touches on skin. It’s very special and different than other places. Since I moved to France I miss those elements of life. My images evolve from my acute observations of mother nature, visual memories, temporal and spatial associations, and the deep sense of connection with the earth. I use historical photo-based technique in the creation of my works, such as cyanotype and as well as contemporary photo-screen, digital scanning, printmaking, painting and mixed media. For me, making art allows for the study and representation of time and the ephemeral nature of memory. I include gold leafs as an inscription of sorts that references the passing of time, and as a symbolic line that connects the present to the past."
