Here and Long Ago
2023
Human hair, wood, mirror, acrylic, plexiglass, and crystals
6 ½” h x 4” w x 4" d

Motivated by an experience with hair loss, ‘Here and Long Ago’ encourages my own dissociation with self-worth and social expectations. Hair has long been related to beauty and femininity, so exploring its loss and the related stigmas surrounding it challenges societal norms and sheds light on the lived experiences of women.
