Frida Kahlo once said, “I don’t paint dreams or nightmares, I paint my own reality.”
That quote has always stayed with me, because that’s exactly what art feels like to me — the process of painting, designing, and creating my own version of the world.
My work moves between mediums — oil paint, ink, charcoal, photography, and digital tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop — because I don’t see a boundary between fine art and design. Each piece begins with a feeling and evolves through layers of intuition, story, and experimentation.
Like Frida, I create from emotion, from the things I’ve lived and felt. My art is about transformation — turning pain into beauty, memory into color, and thought into form. Every texture, symbol, and shade carries a part of me: the dreamer, the observer, and the woman still becoming.
Art is how I find meaning and connection. It’s my way of saying: this is how I see the world, and this is how I keep it alive.

Henna Around the World *
Henna Around the World is more than a book — it’s a journey through art, culture, and spirit. It traces the sacred history of henna from ancient Egypt and India to the modern world, revealing how this living art has connected hearts, hands, and traditions across thousands of years.
Through art history, cultural studies, photography, and illustration, I wanted to show how henna is more than adornment — it is language, ritual, and memory. From the whispers of desert ceremonies to the laughter of modern festivals, henna has always told the story of transformation.
The pages ahead blend research with reverence, pairing historic timelines and cultural origins with my own creative practice. Every image, brushstroke, and design was created with love — drawn from over fifteen years of experience and a lifelong fascination with beauty as a form of storytelling.
Henna is my bridge between worlds: between the scholarly and the sacred, the ancient and the contemporary, the human and the divine. It carries the spirit of women who came before us — those who painted their stories in patterns and symbols, celebrating life’s cycles of love, birth, and renewal.
This book is a love letter to that legacy — and to the hands that continue it.
May these pages awaken your own sense of wonder, connection, and artistry.
Because when henna touches the skin, it becomes more than art.
It becomes memory.
It becomes magic.

Photographed under the veil of night, ‘The Henna Goddess’ honors the eternal cycles of earth and nature—the rise and fall of light, the blooming and withering, the ebb and flow that governs all life. Using a custom crystal filter, I fractured the lens to mirror nature’s own multiplicity—splitting reflections, multiplying faces, and evoking the hypnotic pull of transformation.
Each henna symbol pays homage to the sun and moon, to the ancient balance of fertility and decay, creation and dissolution. The ritual gestures—arms outstretched, eyes half-closed—echo the turning of the seasons and the breath of Gaia herself. Through the red glow and blurred motion, the body becomes both seed and flame: falling, rooting, and reawakening.
This work is a nocturnal prayer to the living planet—a remembrance that we, too, are cycles incarnate. The sun for awakening. The moon for remembering. The earth for becoming.
