She is currently working on four bodies of work. Nothing Left to Call Home (2020–ongoing) traces women’s lived histories across West Bengal (India) and Bangladesh, engaging with memory, loss, and the unresolved legacies of Partition and Independence in 1947. Currently, the work is evolving in three different chapters. When I Dive into the Realm of Your Endlessness (2023–ongoing) listens to the spiritual, philosophical, and artistic lives of Baul–Fakir women, a mystical folk tradition marginalized within the patriarchal landscapes of rural Bengal across India and Bangladesh. Both are long-term, research-based projects. Since 2025, she has also been developing two new works, Chaal-Chitra and In the Quest of Inner Buddha-—extending her practice toward questions of inner pilgrimage, visual memory, and the unseen currents that shape everyday life.

Her practice explores the post-Partition socio-political landscape of Bengal through women’s lived experiences, addressing gaps in colonial narratives and centring the perspectives of third- and fourth-generation of Bengal’s partition. Her work engages deeply with questions of religion—examining belief, conflict, counter-practices, and religious metaphors—while reflecting on community, human psychology, and her own evolving spiritual journey as a woman photography practitioner.
