“A Shared Condition” challenges the idea that emotions are strictly private. Alvee explores how memory, politics, and culture shape our inner worlds.
The artist utilizes pareidolia—a process where figures emerge from abstract forms. These figures appear fluid and fragmented, mirroring our shifting identities. It is an invitation to see the “self” within the “collective.”

The exhibition views the human psyche through a post-colonial lens. Alvee examines how inherited history influences how we perceive reality today.
The works do not provide easy answers. Instead, they encourage viewers to pause and question their own perceptions. This isn’t just a traditional solo show; it’s a living platform for dialogue.
Alvee is a Dhaka-based multidisciplinary artist, animator, and activist. Currently pursuing his MFA at the University of Dhaka, he is a force for change.
He is the founder of the Syllabaad Collective and the Charukola Animation Society. His work focuses on collaborative learning and interdisciplinary exchange.

Between 2024 and 2026, Alvee produced a staggering collection for this debut. The exhibition features diverse mediums, including:
