Mehendi designs both hands

I'm a stylist, painter, henna artist and art therapy student from Lithuania and I present to you my social art project [NO]LIFE. It was created together with a professional photographer Enrika Samulionyte. The original idea for the project was a makeover photoshoot with ordinary women (not models),who we are used to seeing while going about our day-to-day business.

The art and tradition of using all-natural paste from the henna plant to create temporary henna tattoos goes back to ancient Asian and Middle-Eastern history, but there's one group that has taken this ancient art form and given it a new, modern purpose. Henna Heals is a community of henna artists based in Canada that creates beautiful flowering henna crown tattoos for women who have lost their hair to cancer and chemotherapy.
