Sleepless for 14 Days.

Sleepless for 14 Days is an abstract reflection on a real and devastating incident reported in Bangladesh, in which a mother, reportedly unable to sleep for fourteen nights because of her infant’s relentless crying, reached a catastrophic breaking point, resulting in the death of her newborn child.

I do not recreate the crime. I confront the psychological darkness surrounding it.

The mother and child are deliberately faceless and anatomically indistinct. No eyes, no recognizable identities—only two fragile human presences trapped within an overwhelming scream. Their cries become almost indistinguishable: one crying for survival, the other from the collapse of her ability to endure.

The fourteen sleepless nights become a symbol of prolonged exhaustion, isolation, and the terrifying fragility of the human mind.

This work asks: How much suffering can a human mind carry before it breaks? How many cries go unheard before tragedy becomes irreversible?

Sleepless for 14 Days is not an illustration of violence. It is a visual confrontation with unseen suffering—and a reminder that sometimes the most devastating tragedies begin long before anyone notices the silence.
