Through my interdisciplinary phenomenological praxis, I endeavour to unearth the veracity of my identity as a diasporic, immigrant, peripatetic, iconoclastic, and marginalised individual, traversing the spectrum from the intimate to the cosmic. My journey orbits around an insatiable quest to apprehend myself, my ethos, my terra firma, the macrocosm, and the vast universe into which I was fortuitously cast. I, an architect, disassemble and resurrect my lived experiences in both Orient and Occident; to epitomise this, I employ my uprooted tresses as filament to embroider, conjuring vestments, arabesques, and effigies. My proclivity is to amalgamate media, methodologies, and ideations to articulate the labyrinthine intricacies of modern existence across temporal and spatial axes. Rather than conventional implements, I deploy my phalanges and pollices as conduits to inscribe with ink upon variegated substrates. I suture with strands of my hair—repositories of my genetic code; this act transcends mere handicraft, metamorphosing into a metaphorical enactment of convalescence, echoing surgical suturation and the regenerative choreography of nature. By chronicling through the meditative cadence of sewing on textiles with my hair, I endeavour to distil the tangible verisimilitude of life’s phenomena. I appropriate quotidian artefacts and transfigure them by annexing my meticulously archived, cast-off hair. My aspiration is to enshrine my corporeal existence within my oeuvre. The ritualistic curation, purification, and preservation of each filament is a contemplative liturgy for me, a symphony of deliberate actions reminiscent of nurturing a cherished entity. Human hair is a filamentous biomaterial that sprouts from cutaneous follicles in mammals—composed almost exclusively of robust keratin, it functions as a protective, sensorial, and phylogenetically thermoregulatory apparatus, while simultaneously embodying profound cultural, aesthetic, and semiotic gravitas. My hair, imbued with my DNA, thus constitutes a corporeal palimpsest—a veritable self-portrait. I salvage hair from the comb’s teeth post-grooming, or I episodically truncate my locks, hoarding the remnants, discarding the extricated strands, and safeguarding each fragment with a tenderness seldom reciprocated by others. The process, suffused with reverence, mirrors the assiduity required to foster an infant. The abscission of hair from our bodies, the deciduousness of leaves, and the anemochory of seeds—germination, migration, and displacement—are perennial motifs in the natural world. I am compelled to conflate media, methodologies, and paradigms to articulate the convoluted reality of modernity in both chronology and geography. Textiles and embroidery are entrenched as cultural lodestones in my natal land, Bangladesh, entwined with the illustrious chronicle of Bengali textiles; luminary institutions enshrine the Bengal Nakshi [Artistic] Kantha [hand-stitched quilt]. This legacy galvanised me to experiment with visual narration as a form of provocation. My creations encapsulate ancestral identity, refracted through a contemporary prism. Luxuriant, sable hair is an immutable hallmark of feminine allure in Bangladeshi society; I inherit this trait from my patrilineal lineage. I resolved to venerate that culture and enshrine its patrimony within my artistic corpus. My work is the sutured hope that our eternal wounds may one day bloom into wholeness.
