All Those Dreams Still Fly in the Wind- All Those Dreams Still Fly in the Wind unfolds as a visual lament inspired by Sunil Gangopadhyay’s poem “Shei Shob Swopno” (Those Dreams). This accordion painting becomes a moving terrain of fractured memories, collective grief, and fading ideals. Across its length, the work drifts between allegory and reality—animals become witnesses, human figures dissolve into landscapes, and stitched marks trace wounds both personal and political. Watercolour washes soften the surface, while needle-pricked textures echo the piercing ache of history. The painting reflects on the freedom fighters who gave their lives with the hope of a just, liberated homeland. They left behind families, loves, and dreams—believing their sacrifices would shape a country rooted in dignity. Yet the present stands in painful contrast: political greed, violence, and cycles of terror have dismantled the fragile promises of that freedom. Innocent lives are lost, bodies are carried through streets, and the voice of the common people grows quieter under the weight of fear. Still, amidst this turbulence, the accordion form keeps opening—like a breath, like a page refusing to close. Scattered motifs of hearts, journeys, mountains, and winds evoke the persistence of those early ideals. Even as the world falters, the dreams of the past continue to hover, tremble, and drift—unbroken, carried gently by the wind. This work holds that fragile tension: between despair and hope, between a wounded present and the dreams that refuse to die. ChatGPT c
