Touch: "Hair"

"Hair" Bow

"Hair deeply affects people, can transfigure or repulse them. Symbolic of life, hair bolts from our head. Like the earth, it can be harvested, but it will rise again."- Diane Ackerman


Diane Ackerman emphasizes the concept of hair as it relates to touch. It is a big part of our physical makeup, and it plays a special role in our identity. For this reason, I took several photographs of my friend's hair in different lighting and on different days. The texture and color contribute to the piece's overall sensory impression. I combined the images into a grid on Photoshop, printed it out, and cut and folded it into a bow. As I am so fond of puns, I decided to call it "Hair" Bow.
