Sheikha

-

Sheikha, meaning a wife of a Sheikh or leader of a community, challenges traditiona­l Bedouin norms. Throughout history, Bedouin cultures have lived on patriarcha­l systems, stripping women from any power or authority. So I created this character that symbolises female empowermen­t and a reversal of gender roles, portraying a female who dominates her village.
