This mixed-media work brings together fragments of Bangladesh—rickshaws, crowded streets, architecture, color, movement, and everyday life—into a layered visual memory. Rather than presenting the city as a single, fixed place, the work allows images to overlap, disappear, and re-emerge, much as memories do over time.
The rickshaw becomes both subject and symbol: a familiar part of the landscape, but also a vessel of movement, transition, and return. Through photographic transfer, texture, abrasion, and collage, The Roads We Carry explores the way immigrants hold onto places after leaving them—not as perfect records, but as fragments that continue to shift, fade, and live within us.
