Crown

“Symbolic of life, hair bolts from our head.
Like the earth, it can be harvested, but it will rise again.”
- Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of The Senses
Statement
Hair comes in many textures and forms. The most versatile is kinky, curly hair textures. Throughout the span of history, this hair texture has been woven and molded into whatever form the owner may wish. Hair carries a symbolic significance within some cultures and sometimes people are forced to disown this heritage. I represented this by creating bright colors of nature surrounding and bouncing off of the individual. The cracks and destructive textures visible represent the regrowth that occurs even through disowning ones crown. Emphasis is put on the versatility of the individuals hair by colorful flowers.
