Hair
Hair explored as a site where personal identity intersects with public space.
This series positions hair as both armor and antenna, a charged surface where identity broadcasts itself whether we intend it to or not. Hair sits at a strange threshold: fully visible, impossibly intimate, always speaking even when we think we’re silent. What gets performed through styling, texture, length, or color becomes legible as code in public space.
The images treat hair as a living archive. Choices accumulate in each strand, each cut or dye job marking a shift in allegiance, rebellion, or reinvention. Hair grows, gets altered, grows again. It’s biological but never neutral. The work captures this slippage between the body as private territory and the body as readable text. A shaved head means something different on different people in different contexts, and the series lets that instability breathe. These frames don’t try to decode what hair “means” so much as they trace how it oscillates between declaration and camouflage, between what’s chosen and what’s inherited.
By isolating hair as subject, the work exposes the gap between self-presentation and public reading. You control the cut but not the interpretation. You wear your identity outward, but the street decides what it sees. That friction drives the entire series. Hair becomes a perfect vehicle for exploring how we negotiate visibility. How we signal belonging or refusal. And how something as simple as what grows from your scalp can carry the weight of politics, memory, and transformation.
