সিঙ্গারা ঠোঙ্গা (Samosa Packet)
I bought samosas (সিঙ্গারা) on the streets of Dhaka. The packets intrigued me. They were made from recycled print outs. I collected over 100.
Some were made from recycled court papers - endless lists of court cases including cases of individuals against the government.
After my uncle was jailed, I wondered if his case would appear on a samosa packet one day.
I began making my own packets about the political situation in Bangladesh.
