I met Tawhid In Koraibari, a river island (char) in Gaibandha district in May 2022. I was invited by the social purpose organisation Friendship to see how they were working with the local community to help those with disabilities.
Tawhid was born with cerebral palsy, developed locomotor disability and was unable to stand.
Tawhid’s parents had lost hope for his future, until Friendship’s Physiotherapists began therapy in his home, visiting every two weeks and prescribing exercises. Tawhid showed incredible improvement in a short time—first learning to stand, and then to walk. His determination and spirit were inspirational.
I wanted to create a realism portrait of Tawhid with a background showing a glimpse of his determination and the efforts of Physiotherapists to get him to where he is today.
The painting is an original oil painting, it is framed in a bespoke frame and will come with a signed certificate of authenticity.
