Rafiq Hossain
a high-rise slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Rafiq Hossain spends his days scaling the skeletons of Dhaka's skyline, clad in the worn canvas jacket once belonging to his father. Evenings, he patches together fraying lines with the same care he gives his family's fragile household. The snap of a distant flag in the wind haunts his thoughts, reminding him of the precarious balance between providing for his family and the perilous nature of his work.
