Self and Selves

Hair, 30cm x 80cm, 2013

 

Hair is a kind of material carrying our identity. Not just physiologically, but also mentally. You would not think that your own hair is disgusting when it is in your head. Yet, when it is cut off, everyone feel scared as it is no longer belongs to you. I made a hair scarf seems to question your identity. I put on many others identity on your body. The scarf is extremely close to your skin. You can feel every tinny hair irritating your neck. It seems that many people are challenging you.
