Synthetic hair & wood.
This work consists of a flag made entirely from blonde human hair. Removed from its original bodily context and reconfigured into a symbol traditionally associated with territory, identity, and belonging, the hair becomes both material and metaphor. The flag transforms individual strands into a collective form, questioning how personal histories are woven into cultural and social narratives.
The use of blonde hair evokes ideas of heritage, memory, and representation, while its fragile, organic nature contrasts with the authority and permanence usually associated with flags. Suspended between body and symbol, the work invites reflection on identity as something constructed, inherited, and continually reshaped.
