I have been working on small scale industry for many years, like Amar Kutir Society.

During my documentation found that the products were given more importance than the people involved. Thus, in my works. I have incorporated this material, technique, and designs in a new narrative to highlight and symbolize the people involved. I have tried to take a different approach to the idea of crafts were through the works have tried to show how crafts which are usually designated below fine arts is important in its own way. Through my works, I have also ened to draw a relationship between the past and the present, the tradition and the modern
