These portraits are part of a study of young Muslim women and their interpretation of the hijab. To these girls, their headscarves make them feel liberated and give them freedom. It is most definitely their own choice to wear it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wanted the photographs to show the variety of shapes and styles created by each girl with their scarves. Over time, fashion and trends have influenced how the hijab is worn, and this combined with tradition, culture and an individual desire for subtle self-expression has resulted in endless unique styles. These girls are not the shapeless forms portrayed by right-wing media, but wonderfully individual, creative, and most importantly to them, modest, young women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
