Exhibit Title: Flood Crisis
Location: Bangladesh
This photo exhibition zooms in on the endless flood crises striking Bangladesh each year due to heavy monsoon rains combined with upstream water surges. Every year, upwards of 30% of the country is submerged, and communities suffer the horror of lost homes, roads, farmland, and basic infrastructure. The flooding has ravaged the rural and urban areas equally, with whole villages submerged in water in districts like Kurigram, Feni, and Chittagong. Collapsing sewer systems, power outages, and waterborne diseases add more agony to the victims, thus making millions of people in dire need of food, water, and shelter. This series of photos documents the 2022, 2023, and 2024 catastrophic floods that have wrecked destruction with waters. But amidst such despair, these images also depict the resilience of Bangladeshi people-from families navigating their inundated homes to communities rebuilding from the ruins.
This exhibition, through haunting and evocative imagery, invites the viewer to bear witness to some of the most devastating consequences of climate-induced disaster and asks us to contemplate our shared responsibility to address climate change and support vulnerable populations.
The storyteller inside me, with a camera in my hand, has captured countless moments of the resilience of the human spirit against adversary tides. My series on the flood crisis from Bangladesh is an intimate, unflinching look at how Climate Change has deeply impacted this vulnerable community. This oncoming disaster is more than the natural phenomenon-it's a stark reminder to fragility in life, besides the disproportionate burden that poor poor bear.
Through these images, I aspire to transcend the statistics and headlines and show faces and lives behind the floods. Every picture has a story to tell of survival, loss, and hope. Submerged homes, families displaced, and the quiet determination of people rebuilding their lives-these stand testimony to the magnitude of the crisis and the strength of the people enduring it.
The following project is an attempt to amplify the voices of those often unheard, stir empathy, and foster a deeper understanding of the urgent need for global action. My hope is that these images serve as a call to recognize our shared humanity and collective responsibility in addressing the climate crisis and its devastating consequences.
