Capturing Мoments Emotions Memories Stories Life Journeys Essence Light
A tale of two protagonists and two Bangladeshes
Two disparate worlds co-existing simultaneously
Where class divides are woven into the fabric of society, survival, ambition, and dreams
Expressed through imagery that is both evocative…
…and enigmatic
