Photographed during a henna celebration in Palestine, this image captures a quiet moment before ceremony, hands holding olive branches, embroidery resting against skin, jewelry passed through generations. The frame lingers on what is often overlooked: gesture, texture, and the intimacy of preparation.
Shot on film, the photograph preserves the softness of the moment and the weight of tradition without spectacle. It is a study in care, continuity, and presence, how culture lives in the body, in fabric, and in what we carry forward.
Printed in a small, limited edition to honor the personal nature of the image.
