Arif Hossain
a high-rise slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Arif Hossain spends his days bent over shoes, caught between the clamor of the city and the quiet persistence of his own dreams. Born and raised in Dhaka, his small world revolves around the pulse of the high-rise slum he calls home, his mother's health, and his sister's future. Music was never a plan, but an escape, crafted in stolen moments amidst the grind of his daily routines.
