TITLE: Tears of mercy

This picture was taken from Satkhira , Khulna , Bangladesh .Even 5/6 years back they never thought that they will lost their house holds , agriculture land, school, hospital , mosque etc. Now every 24 hours they submersed with 4/5 feet water twice for 8/9 hours just due to Increasing high tides of sea salt water and tidal surges due to the increase of global temperature and increase the sea level water of Bay of Bengal. The island's green belt is almost disappearing and new habitable land infrastructure is being lost to the sea every day. It was their beyond imagination that they can't sleep at night to protect their kids and last household remaining's from the strong current of tidal water. People living here have to perform their prayer with the water equal to the knee or chest and the prayers should be offered with the water equal to the throat so that almighty Allah protects them from this danger. But after few days they lost this mosque due to strong current of extreme high tidal water.

Hi, my name is Sharwar Hussain Apu. I started taking interest in photography as a hobby back in 2015. Since then , I have traveled almost allover Bangladesh taking pictures of different events, people and cultures.
Documentary Photography is my strong suit. That’s why I like to think myself as an artist and a storyteller when it comes to describing my role as a photographer. I fill my frames with stories that everyone ignores but needs to be told. They are of the voiceless, the helpless and the forsaken. My recent ongoing long term documentary project on climate change under the title are " Tears of global warming " and " Tears of water .
