Bound & Becoming explores womanhood in Bangladesh, its inherited restrictions, unspoken expectations, and quiet revolutions. Through self-portraiture, I use my body as both subject and symbol to trace the tension between tradition and transformation. “Bound” reflects the cultural and societal forces that shape women’s identities; “Becoming” is the act of resisting and redefining them. This work is both personal and collective, reclaiming space and voice while revealing womanhood as an evolving force, bound, yet always becoming.
