When Bishwajit visited China for a third time, for an art project in 2015, his wife was pregnant; distance made him contemplate about his wife and baby. He started to ruminate, "is my mother also missing me in the same way? How I'm missing..." the beautiful universal thought insisted him and provided energy to make a journey with an art project named 'Travelling with Mother'.He used an iconography "MA" for this art project that was made by a traditional rickshaw painter from Bangladesh. In this project, he performed with general people in different cultures and geographical areas publicly. In the same way, he introduced Bengali sound "MA" as an Art form to the different parts of the world. The people who have the same feeling about their mother or motherhood, they were the part of this work. "Traveling with Mother", conveyed universal emotions of the global citizens.'Born in Netrakona, Bangladesh, Goswami is an artist and educator based in Bangladesh.
