Monsoon Ilish

Sometimes the monsoon is more than a season.

It is the return of ilish to the table, the fragrance of this delicacy and steaming rice filling the home, and afternoons that unfold slowly as rain paints the world outside.

This artwork captures that familiar ritual, the warmth of a lovingly prepared meal against the cool blues of a rainy day.

It is a celebration of food, memory, and the quiet comfort found in traditions passed from one generation to the next.
