Step into a world of emotion, color, and identity with “HEAD”, an online solo exhibition by Farzana Ahmed Urmi.

Objectively, individuals live in the real world. That is, the individual lives in the world of the ‘self’ or ‘I’. What is self-image? Our image! If we think deeply, we see that our image is our image. Who am I—this eternal question is very valuable! We have been asking this question in various ways for many years. As an artist, I have been thinking about many such questions for a long time. Which one is it? Is my face my image or are my hands, feet, tongue, eyes, and personal organs my image? Write 300 word *When I am in a place, that place also becomes a self-image. 

Artist: Farzana Ahmed Urmi.

It can be my work brush or the touch of a lover. Anything what, that, that, who—leaves those images within me and leaves various shadows, and art is created from it. Thoughts, emotions, and the feelings of all worldly life take on a new form in the experience of reality. Which is unreal or a reflection of reality.

When I am in a place, that place slowly begins to live inside me. It is no longer just a location outside my body; it becomes a part of my inner landscape, shaping how I see myself. The walls, the light, the silence or noise—all of it settles within me like a quiet imprint. My self-image is not fixed; it is constantly formed and reformed through these encounters.

A brush in my hand is not merely a tool—it becomes an extension of my thoughts. The gesture of painting carries my presence, my hesitation, my confidence. Similarly, the touch of a lover is not just a moment; it leaves behind a trace, a warmth that becomes part of how I understand myself. These experiences do not remain separate—they merge into my being, creating layers of identity.

So what is my image? Is it my face, my body, or something beyond the visible? Perhaps my image is the accumulation of everything I have felt, touched, and lived. Every place I enter leaves a shadow, and every interaction adds a new tone. These shadows are not empty; they are full of memory, emotion, and fragments of reality.

Art emerges from this complexity. It is not a direct copy of the world, but a transformation of it. What I create is both real and unreal—a reflection that carries truth, yet is shaped by perception. My thoughts and emotions take form through lines, colors, and textures, revealing something deeper than appearance.

In this way, the self is not a single answer but an ongoing question. “Who am I?” lives within every mark I make. And perhaps, my true image is not something I see—but something I continuously become.
