The Beholder’s Pride
She is wearing the 'gele' (head-wrap) and lovely coral jewellery while she admires the flowers from her fiancée. She is unsure of her beauty, hesitantly acknowledging it, because her fiancée perceives her as beautiful today.
She belongs to my ‘Celebrating Women' series, dedicated to the strength and resilience that I’ve seen embodied in innumerable women.

The women in the series evolve as they become aware of their beauty and strength, and as they begin to question social norms.Try it!
