Abdur Rahman

a high-rise slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Abdur, a veteran long-haul trucker in Dhaka, spends his days navigating endless roads and his nights in a diminutive single room that overlooks the bustling city. His life is a rhythm of routine meals and meticulous checks on his truck's condition, a vessel heavy with the freight of responsibility and the occasional joy of judging the varying tastes of well water. Art for Abdur is the symmetry of pairs, a reflection perhaps of his solitary life longing for balance and companionship.
