Series: The Hijab

This series of portraits exhibits the variances in the styles of the hijab across the diverse range of cultures that adopt the Islamic faith. The hijab is an additional covering layer worn on the heads of many Muslim women around the world. There is clear evidence of rich cultural heritages that influence the aesthetic of the symbolic apparel worn by these women. The variety of colours, styles, shapes and patterns represent their individual cultures, and how they are a clear showcase of one cloth being worn in many different ways by many different women around the world.
