Situated within the deltaic tidal basin, a delicate mangrove ecosystem, and a crucial zone of climate urgency, the Bengal Bay, deteriorated by regular anthropogenic ruptures, as an artists and researcher I assemble site-sensitive sculptures, Para-fictional installations and planetary imaginaries. My research-driven installations decode the relationship between ecological catastrophes and imperial extractive mechanisms, cultural amnesia in the post-contamination landscape, and the loss of biodiversity.

I devote my practice to reclaim the power of the marginalised and the unvoiced; altering concrete infrastructures into precarious, translucent, and malleable entities. Indigenous river ontology and an act of re-membering, re-storing, and re-paring inform my form and material findings. Being a skeptic of dominant historical reading, I often question colonial archives, herbarium images and cartographic mapping and re-examine policy making, legislation systems. With a particular interest in local wisdom from ancestral knowledge episteme, I seek out significant materials that connect the past and future relationship of art and regenerative ecology. I like to parallel my artistic praxis with artisanal craft processes and draw inspiration from the resistance displayed by local river and farmer communities against extractivism to protect their land, water, and spirits, as well as the rituals and ecological care they demonstrate for the ecosystem. By addressing concerns regarding the accessibility and scarcity of natural resources for river communities, I advocate for the legal rights of indigenous peoples. With a sentient and spiritual connection to river and ecology, I strive for a creolisation and symbiosis of human-non-human agencies and multi-species world-building.

I feel an intrinsic affinity towards the artists and practitioners who advocate for climate justice and regenerative ecology. Among artists such as Otobong Nkanga, Carolina Caycedo, Jumana Manna, Himali Sing Soin, Ravi Agarwal, Dilip da Cunha, Uriel Orlow, artist duo the Cooking Sections, the Otolith Group, Su Yu Hsin, Thao Nguyen Phan or the Eco-futurists such as Pedro Neves Marques, Maria Tereza Alvez resonates with my practice. In my research, I am interested in reading Indigenous knowledge and philosophy in parallel to posthuman feminist philosophy, so indigenous scholars such as Zoe Todd, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Lislotte Viaene are equally interesting for me as Bruno Latur, Elizabeth Povinelli, or Astrida Niemanis. The recent turn in my practice is fueled by human-nonhuman-more than human relationships and coinhabiting the landscape with other species and sentient beings subordinated so far, which essentially carried us to the Anthropocene epoch. Anna L. Tsing, Donna J. Haraway,Ursula k. Le Guin, Karen Barad, Dipesh Chakravarty, and Amitav Ghosh inspires me to think about restitution, reparation, storytelling, reimagining, and revitalizing a more entangled, pluralistic, and balanced planetary ecological future.
