The exhibition showcased 29 sculptures of eminent sculptor Hamiduzzaman Khan, created with stone, steel, cement and other materials. It also featured two paintings by the artist. He explained the reason behind choosing the institute for the exhibition, instead of enclosed galleries, saying he needed a natural setting like that of the Institute of Architects Bangladesh. The sculptures were arranged on the open ground of the institute, surrounded by trees, plants and a pool. In them, the artist addressed a number of topics including nature, motherhood, cultural heritage, war of independence and so on. In addition to that, two paintings – After Sunset and Self Portrait – were put on display inside the building of the institute.
