At the Center of Living Patterns

This image was taken in December 2025 in Tikoil, the Alpona Village, Bangladesh. It shows an aerial view of the painted courtyard of Dekhon Bala Bormon, a traditional folk artist. I photographed the scene from above to show how her daily life unfolds within the patterns she creates. She is seated at the center, working on a handcrafted textile, surrounded by her own alpona designs.[孟加拉 · Rajshahi]
