The Purpose was to Document the Other Side, 2023 

•       A short film by Laisul Hoque, capturing the artist's mother's journey to London. The film is recorded on a camera initially purchased by the artist's father in 2004 todocument his European journey when he couldn't bring his family along. Informed by the exploration of intimate conversation, the film compares the artist's upbringing with that of his mother, addressing generational trauma and confronting emotional distance from his father. Through this documentary, the artist engages in the powerful act of curating their narrative together—vulnerable and emotional. It presents a compelling example of reclaiming personal and familial stories.

•       By deciding to record and hold these footages in the camera that the artist’s dad used, the artist gives his mother a space to place her narrative, where originally it would be only his father’s and the artist's. At the end of the film, the artist hands the camera to his mother, providing her with a means to contribute to the narrative.
