QAWIYA
Qawiya (قوية), is the Arabic word for strong. This word is a perfect adjective for these women.
This photo series is an ongoing project about women in sports in Qatar. I decided to do this project because of the importance of women in sports worldwide, but more specifically the importance of women in sports in the region.
These women are an inspiration for the next athletes in the country and many of them have faced difficulties when pursuing their dream.
All of them have stories of leadership, strength, and perseverance in male dominated environments. They bring fresh air, determination, and inspiration for other young aspiring athletes, not only in the country but also in the region. I believe these photos can be positive to achieve this and to reach other young women.
This is an ongoing project, where I intend to photograph as many women as possible.
