At every moment, new scenes unfold upon this world—an Earth woven from
countless images. A procession of photographs drifts through space, where the
photographer takes part in this endless parade, selecting from the myriad the image
they desire. This act of choosing is also one of omission, as many other images are
quietly set aside..

Photography emerges from the struggle between light and shadow; time is
harnessed, and fragments of space are imprinted onto the camera’s frame.
A photograph holds within it a symphony of visual elements, which together
weave a sentence of meaning. These elements harmonize to give voice to the
image, translating emotions into visual expression. A photographic story is a
tapestry of many such visual narratives. Each viewer reads this tapestry differently,
bringing their own unique interpretation to the imagery.
In the photographic story titled My Text or My Writings, Syeed Sumon has created

Syeed Sumon's photographic characters and themes drift seamlessly
between the realms of surrealism and magical realism, creating a unique
fusion. The figures within his frames are infused with a dark humor,
occasionally evoking unexpected shadows that imbue the images with a
melancholic essence. In his work, melancholy and hope walk side by side,
intertwined in a delicate dance of light and darkness.
My Text is the text written through Syeed Sumon's camera, a narrative that,
when decoded, continues the process of human existence, one that
sustains the viewer’s journey towards healing. Through the lens of his
camera, this text unfolds, guiding the observer through a path of reflection,
where each image becomes a step in the ongoing process of inner
restoration.
