Project Description

The designs in this photo took about 45 minutes per hand.

This photo is also featured on the cover of my design book Dushanbe, full of henna designs inspired by the art of Tajikistan. Read more about the inspiration for the book, and get a copy for yourself if you’re interested, here.
