| I’m a multidisciplinary designer, architect, and illustrator based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Over the years, my journey as a digital artist has focused on exploring dark aesthetics, using melancholy and metaphor as tools for self-reflection and to see the world from a different perspective. In my design practice, I ground my philosophy in blending empathy with creativity, striving to create designs that thoughtfully reflect the unique character and purpose of each project. |

Nefertiti by Meghdol
Album art for the song titled 'Nefertiti (Remastered)' by Meghdol, an indie-rock music band from Bangladesh.The Meghdol song “Nefertiti” uses the name as a metaphor for a woman who is beautiful and captivating but also distant and kind of fading away. The lyrics carry a feeling of sadness and longing, with visuals of fading light, old roads, and the struggle to hold onto her. The album art shows a woman—referred to as Nefertiti in the song—wearing a saree, a cap crown, and a respirator, standing on a wilting lotus, against a gloomy, dystopian city at dusk.
