Henna


Henna 1, originally uploaded by Abi-92.

The art of henna painting on the body has been practiced in India, Africa, and the Middle East for centuries. The henna plant is believed to bring love and good fortune, and to protect against evil.

This photograph was taken under indoor lighting, the orange cast that occurs naturally usually degrades a pictures quality, however, I feel it has given my image a warm feel.

The apple is a complex symbol, with a variety of meanings. It can mean love, knowledge, wisdom, joy, death, and/or luxury. The apple of the Garden of Eden, is the symbol of temptation and of original sin.
