Brahmaputra

Video · Sculpture · 2022 — the river that refuses to be contained.

Brahmaputra is a meditation on the river that refuses to be contained — fluid memory, shifting borders, and the ecological unconscious of Northeast India. The installation weaves together video projections, sculptural elements, and found objects collected along the river's banks.

The work traces the Brahmaputra not just as geography, but as a living entity — carrying stories of displacement, resilience, and the fragile coexistence between communities and the constantly shifting river. Through layered imagery and submerged textures, the viewer is immersed in the river's own temporality.
