Dislocated Presences, Diptych 8
Dislocated Presences is a conceptual street-photography series of diptychs made candidly in public space. Each pair joins two fragments to defer recognition so presence reads before identity—through posture, rhythm, and trace. Muted treatment and disclosed editing (selection, pairing) detach time/place, slow looking, and invite reflection on anonymity and urban life.

Riding the Pilgrims’ Rails (6)
In Dhaka, overcrowded trains are a crucial part of daily life. But once a year, during the Bishwa Ijtema—the world’s second-largest Muslim gathering—the crowds grow beyond what seems possible. Pilgrims pour into Tongi from all parts of Bangladesh, drawn by three days of prayer and sermons by Islamic scholars. Special trains are added, but demand far exceeds supply, and so travelers climb wherever they can.

Surveillance
A masked man on a skateboard, his dog pulling alongside, moves past a boarded-up house painted with watchful eyes at the height of the pandemic. Birds cut across the sky as mural, subject, and setting collapse into an atmosphere of scrutiny, resilience, and survival.

Silence in B-Flat I #4
"Silence in B-Flat" investigates ways time and memory shape perception in the photographic image, critiques individualistic surveillance-centric natures of the built environment, and investigates localized histories of mediated public space through dreamlike layering.
In "Silence in B-Flat I," by making up to hundreds of exposures and selectively averaging frames, I assume editorial control—toggling positions of stoplights, illuminated windows, cars, and pedestrians.

NIGHT READING
While I was going to pick up my car in a parking lot, I was struck by this young nighttime reader who, surrounded by parked cars and darkness, found a way not to give up her passion and the desire to be left to her own devices.
