garment cloth on canvas, bamboo scaffolding Site-specific installation

This work is an expansion of previous work “These walls are propped up just like that” evokes a

sense of precariousness and hidden dependency. In this new iteration, even the imposing, brutalist

fragment of the Parliament of Bangladesh is precariously supported by bamboo scaffolding—no different

from any ordinary wall held up using local, makeshift methods.

This imagery reflects how the system constructs a beautified, filtered facade of strength and national

identity, yet relies on fragile, improvised support—exposing deep-rooted political and social instability.

While using garment cloth to construct the Parliament, the work introduces a sense of softness, contrasting the wall’s rigid and brutalist character that produces the image of the rigorous nation’s power

and identity.
