you write so vividly.

the way the senses are threaded together: colour, temperature, smell, sound.

and how you move through time and space: "my small feet". "tiptoeing out". and how Omi Nour & her knowing smile is like an anchor.

All like a coming-of-age story, henna the rite of passage.

come see art!😤

WOWW. You’re so interesting and I love the way you capture the feeling of home that Omi Nour brings through this! And how you capture your admiration and adoration for her and how innocent the childish lens is. Like it’s not about the depth of artistry of henna at that age, you just wanna do what Omi did and run around after, smudging all the henna 🤣🤣
