Currently, memories are being conveyed by artistically representing the form of the tobacco plant. These recollections include the cherished moments of golden-hued leaves from childhood. In its prime, the village thrived due to the tobacco harvest's fruitful outcomes. However, in contrast to today's unfavorable market prices, substantial losses have befallen farmers. This has profoundly affected my family, evoking a longing for the past's homely atmosphere amid the present challenges.
about the artist
Shodik
My name is Muhammad Shodiq. I was born and raised in a community that depends on tobacco for its life. In the creative process, I place myself more as part of society. To dig deeper about tobacco, I have explored a lot in various media, painting, performance, installation, and music. I often add tobacco as a visual material in my paintings.
