Rafiq Ahmed
a high-rise slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Rafiq, a loyal sentinel of the night, spends endless hours in the underbelly of a Dhaka high-rise. His focus is unwavering; every scrape in the pipes and every creak of steel is a note in his symphony of vigilance. Music flows naturally, softly coaxed from his nightly toil, something he's lived more than learned.
