Naima NabinBack

Naima Nabin

Naima is a beautiful girl from Bangladesh who participated in both years of BOWING, always accompanied by her sister, Saima. Naima would paint our hands with intricate and perfect henna designs, with complex patterns, holding our fingers with great delicacy and concentration. We witnessed Naima and her sister transform into elegant young women, shedding some of their shyness and gaining confidence with us and the other participants. Naima's radiant smile and gaze will be one of the symbols and memories of this project.
