Hair
Hair explored as a site where personal identity intersects with public space.
Hair follows acts of styling, covering, cutting, touching and display across public space. The photographs treat hair not as decoration around the face but as material through which identity is made visible and read by others.
Because hair is both bodily growth and cultural surface, it carries meanings that are intimate, inherited and social. A hairstyle can signal affiliation, resistance, discipline, gender, faith or fashion, but no single image can stabilize those codes.
The series stays with the gap between self-fashioning and public interpretation. It asks how hair mediates the relation between the body someone inhabits and the identity the surrounding world assigns to it.
