White egrets gather and take flight across a misty, subdued wetland landscape veiled in soft grays and muted blues. In Before the Waters Fade, Sharmin Akter Lina paints a quiet yet urgent reflection on fragile natural habitats, where delicate waterbirds dance upon receding waters.

The atmospheric haze and muted palette imbue the scene with an ethereal, fleeting quality. By capturing these graceful creatures in mid flight and silent pause, the artwork serves as a poignant homage to disappearing ecosystems, urging us to cherish the beauty of the natural world before it slips away.
