Concept:History, Future and Imaginary representations of Territories

I was born in 1971 during our liberation war.From my childhood, I heard from my mother about war and how my mother struggled to save my life, so i was born with the history of my country.From my studnt life i love to study history,so this is my intention to research the history.now the days searching history is my art language .

We tend to forget our authenticity our cultural heritage, day to day happenings, history, our heroes, their devotion because of the ever-increasing satellite culture thats been reinforcing to change or at least grab the share of our culture for quite some time now.

I believe its time to self-discover, re-evaluate, enabling myself to place before the mirror and nurture the lost senses and stimulate them and translate them simply through art languages.
