In early 2021 Samim was selected for the Kochi students Biennale. He has participated in many exhibitions across the country. Last year he participated in a multidisciplinary experiment-based photography exhibition.
Samim has been working on linear designs existing in nature. His works are Sculptural transpositions of these designs, and use it as an element of partly abstract and referential compositions. As a result, his designs emerge as intellectually resolved structuring with an element of natural unpredictability. He is currently working on finding connections between the natural structural pattern with social architecture and design.
The design has possibilities in architectural layouts, which he is contemplating to work on.

Previously he was based in Kolkata and has recently moved to Kochi for his assignment as Visual Arts Faculty at Seed where he is a significant component of the Foundation Studio team.
