Women sit close together in turquoise, flame orange and violet; a bowl of flowers rests between them, and one raises her hand to her chin. Against a dark ground every colour glows. The rituals of henna travel across borders, and the work celebrates that shared language of adornment linking the women of the Gulf and of India.
