Pray for Birds

Site -specific Project,
Open Studio of CRAC INTERNATIONAL ART CAMP 2010- Smaran Matsya-beej Khamar, Rahimpur (adjacent to Dhaka-Kushtia highway), Kushtia, Bangladesh 1st January 2011



In a village of Kustia the International art camp was held in a fish hatchery for the last week of year 2010. In the camp I saw lot of birds come in this area. Then I saw fishermen threw poison on the ponds for cleaning. Again some young people shot birds for celebrating party of 31st night. So the birds got frightened and didn’t come easily before people. I made some structures using bamboo, fence to attract the birds where they can take rest. Here I kept fish, leafs, and other stuff as birds’ foods. I fixed up this installation and people kept foods for birds on this structure even after finishing the camp. Birds came quickly and took food. I expressed my love for the birds through this art work.
