Nakupenda "I Love You" in Swahili
The Swahili Dhows of Lamu, Kenya, hold a timeless charm. Dhow names are engraved on the side of the Dhow as seen in this image. They 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. Louisa captures the romantic charm of Lamu elegantly in her Swahili Dhow images taken off the Kenyan coast.
