Louisa captures the romantic charm of Lamu elegantly in her Swahili Dhow images taken off the Kenyan coast.
The Swahili Dhows of Lamu, Kenya, hold a timeless charm. Dhow names often reflect the qualities or values of the Captain, giving each Dhow a character or "spirit" that resonates with the owner’s aspirations. By naming a Dhow after these values, the captain often seeks protection, success, or a smooth journey, symbolizing the positive energy and spirit of the vessel. Often one-word Swahili names reference the elements of the natural world reflecting the Dhow’s reliance on and harmony with the natural forces.
