Seasonless employs slow, affective immersion to elucidate the intertwined destinies of bodies and ecosystems, encouraging contemplation, dialogue, and ethical awareness. It addresses the profound physical, psychological, and cultural ramifications of climate change, centring on Bangladesh, where she was born —one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations—while also resonating with her adopted homes in England and Canada. By integrating autobiographical narrative, sustainable material practice, and diasporic perspective, the project foregrounds the intricate interrelations between personal and ecological histories. Drawing upon her experiences of disrupted seasonal cycles, the work laments the erosion of both ecological integrity and cultural heritage in the Anthropocene. Grounded in the traditional Bengali Nakshi Kantha [artistic quilt] technique, she sews with her hair to create organic, fractal forms inspired by human anatomy. The act of stitching serves as a metaphor for both healing and the regenerative processes found in nature, countering the collective denial and imaginative failures that pervade contemporary responses to the climate crisis. Ultimately, the work advocates for reciprocity and mindful attention to the living world, calling for a paradigmatic shift from modes of exploitation to an ethic of biocentric care.
