My paintings are symbolic narratives, embodying the fragmented nature of our contemporary world. I am Bangladeshi and American, an artist, lawyer, mother, and activist, rooted in the West and East, inhabiting many worlds. My work is often autobiographical, responding to the world I experience. My homepage contains the painting "Open the Door," 250 x 200 cm (7 ft by 9 ft).
My work addresses my own multi-faceted identity, religious fundamentalism, gender politics, female sexuality, and climate change. The sari blouse or choli is a recurring theme in my work, a stand-in for me, the female body, and women's place in the world.
My website is organized by series or installation, such as Sari Cloud Installation, Etchings, Drawings, Eye Candy, Mother Tongue, Water, Valentine’s Day/Love, or Sari Blouses, which can be seen by clicking on the corresponding thumbnails under "Portfolio."
