Tasmina K Majles: Becoming

@ Montsalvat

In the body of work, Tasmina draws on birds and elements of nature, such as trees and stones, as central metaphors for transformation, continuity, and the weight of memory and emotion we carry.

Birds, in their instinctive movement across skies and seasons, echo the rhythms of migration. Their journeys are fluid and uncertain, yet guided by an inner sense of direction.

Alongside this, the natural forms of trees reflect the ever-changing nature of life and the ways we evolve through its many phases.

ARTIST BIO
Tasmina K Majles is a Bangladeshi-Australian multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Her creative practice centres on the exploration of memory, connection, and belonging. Rooted in her lived experiences of diaspora, her work reflects on how personal and collective memories shape one's sense of self and place. As a first-generation female migrant, Tasmina's practice delves into the tensions and affinities that

arise from the complex emotions of straddling two worlds - her birthplace and her chosen homeland, and the spaces of belonging that emerge in between. Her work is also guided by environmental consciousness, acknowledging the profound relationship between people and the natural world. She explores how landscapes hold memory and emotion, acting as vessels for connection and continuity, while reminding us of our shared responsibility to care for the environments that sustain us.

OPENING EVENT
Becoming traces the quiet, often unseen landscapes shaped by Tasmina's experience as a migrant, those delicate, liminal spaces where leaving and becoming coexist. Moving across borders transformed not only her outer world, but also her inner one. What began as a shift away from the familiar gradually evolved into a deeper migration within: a surrender to uncertainty, an expansion of patience, and a growing respect for the resilience that emerges when the familiar falls away.
