"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."- A Natural History of The Senses, Diane Ackerman


Artist Statement:
Diane Ackerman emphasizes the concept of hair as it relates to touch. Our hair 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 overall sensory impression.
