“The hair we breed/the air we breathe”
Hair is a big part of our identification. It is part of social status and it also carries information in its protein that allows the person to be identified.
The tradition of keeping the locks of hair of our loved ones puts the hair in the position where it represents the person it belonged to, adding value, and meaning to the garments made of hair.
Every single day a human loses 50-100 strands of hair and it is a resource that is increasing. There are 7.8 billion people in the world today.
Materials used: tulle, elastic band, velvet ribbon, metal hooks and rings, synthetic hair, human hair, glue,cotton thread and silk thread.
