Twist, 2023

Hair records and reflects a person's history, story, identity, and thoughts. But it goes from 'something we hold dear' to 'rubbish' in the single act of falling out. The project uses the vast amount of discarded hair in the area as a medium to create new experiences that the community can participate in, articulate and reorganize the community's culture, and integrate and connect residents from different cultural backgrounds with each other.

The project explores how the potential of local materials such as common materials, waste, culture, and lifestyles can be tapped into and how art can be brought into informal settings and public spaces for all to use.
