Taksheif

Undergraduate Thesis Project (8 months)
2017

Derived from the Arabic word كشف (verb; disclose detect, reveal, uncover, discover), 'Taksheif' was designed to enable safe communication about sexual assault in Syrian refugee camps.

By choosing to reveal or conceal parts of the fabric's pattern, the headscarf becomes a signaling tool within a community.

Keeping the modern wearer in mind, Taksheif's features and materials focus on comfort, ease of use, and urban safety.
