About The Artwork
Sampan is a fat bottomed wooden boat built on an easy curved keel line having a prominent sharp rising head, called anni. Its stern is shaped almost like the English alphabet U, and introduced devotedly as Canda Devi (moon goddess) by the master carpenter. It is propelled by a pair of halish (sculls) by a single sculler - who can also simultaneously steer the rudder. In favourable wind it runs with a hoisted sar (sail) spread with the help of one vertical and another horizontal poles known as dole. Power driven Sampans are also seen now a day on the river calling itself 'Tempo'. During rainy season or hot summer a small pong (thatched shelter) can be pitched on board to provide cover to the passenger and/or goods. The Sampans throng around the ghats (embarkation platforms or places) for picking sawaris (passengers) and the manjhi (sculler) normally shouts his destination, repeating the place-name twice. A Sampan can also be hired for personal or group journey after negotiating fare with the manjhi. The manjhi chants the name of Badr (the guardian saint of the city of Chittagong and the seafarers) when leaving the ghat. A sampan takes 10 to 12 minutes to cross Karnafully River at Patharghata point.

Bangladesh
i am an artist, I wanted to dig out my inner feelings, very personal and free feelings, at the same time the very traditional feelings of Bengali people in my paintings, where the tradition, feelings, religious behavior, thoughts, dreams, and moreover the entire Bengali character is present. The people of this region are in a cycle of simplicity as water, as well as complex, also. They are unpredictable, but thoughtful. All time they want entrance in an open nest. They feel their unknown desire in their dreams, but cannot afford all the feelings. Sometimes, desires express their unuttered words like a poet, and the poet feels his existence in the flowers of moss, and religion supplies the hue to the moss flower. The free Bengali forgets his origin. The poet enters into his open nest, his bird rounds his nest, wants to hear the undiscovered story of the isolated life of a woman, and becomes a mystery being, a toy. My work of art is an attempt, to uphold the historic sensitivity, of the modern Bengali.
