I
am Shetu and I was born on 1st October 1986. I enjoy photography and listening
to music. I want to study further, and receive higher education. In our
society, there is much injustice and pain that people often do not want
to express. I want to expose their stories with my pictures. Currently,
. In my photography, I I am working at AV section of SARPV-Bangladesh
as a photographer and videographerwant to protest injustice in society
and communicate ideas which are new to people.
When I come back to home at late night from work, my mother and older
brother get angry. This is only because our neighbours keep asking them,
'Why does she come home so late?' Through my work, I want people to question
these norms that society gives such importance to.
In,
1994 a boy named Ruhul Amin lived in our neighbourhood. We used to study
in the same school. When I was selected as one of the Out of Focus group
and received a camera, Ruhul Amin started to spread a rumor among the
neighbours that a person is giving cameras to children whose hometown
is Barisal. 'Shefali comes from Comilla, but she lied, and that is how
she got a camera,' Ruhul Amin said to everyone. At that time, I used to
cry whenever I heard this, but now when I remember the story, it makes
me laugh.
