At Sustainable Baddie, we endeavor to be a platform for diverse voices in the space of sustainability and uplift activists and creatives of all backgrounds. Below, we’re sharing a photo project led by Pakistani-American photographer Simrah Farrukh, exploring themes of the human-nature relationship and juxtaposing the textures of organic textiles with those of the natural environment. See more of the shoot and learn about Simrah’s and Kara Fabella’s creative vision in their own words.

A Brief Description:

Complementing the scenery of our shoot, these women are adorned in consciously sourced garments and objects that evoke elemental colors. The ribbons woven & jewelry carefully placed into the hair feel symbolic of our ties to this vast land—how people and nature are intrinsically connected. Organic shapes and natural materials from pearls to gold to wood emphasize this feeling of coming home to our roots, just as people find their way back to the people and places that feel like home.
