Mehndi body art is popular throughout the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, especially in India. It is used for special occasions. For example, in traditional Indian weddings, the bride will have a henna party the night before the ceremony, during which her hands and feet are painted with fine-lined lacy, floral, and paisley patterns. Other occasions for use include pregnancies, births, circumcisions, and religious holidays. In the last two decades, henna has become popular in the West, too. I know I’ve seen “henna tattoos” offered at fairs and beach shops.
Stephens, who just recently returned to the U.S. after spending two years in India, was inspired by the intricate beauty of this traditional art form, but she innovated it in two ways: (1) She used henna narratively rather than simply decoratively, and (2) she put it on a canvas instead of on someone’s skin. Unlike traditional mehndi, Stephens’s mehndi tells a story (it’s not just there to look pretty), and it’s fixed in a permanent form (henna tattoos last only a few weeks).
