Artist Statement
I would like to communicate with my unborn child, through my art, they are as real as the biological children I might have. I collect my discarded and uprooted hair, all I store with care. I feel them with care that I have never received from anyone. I want to give them a place in my art. The process of collecting, cleaning and storing hair one by one is like a ritual for me, a carefully arranged activities like taking care of an infant. This is also a way to develop a kind of bilateral relationships with myself, I am my mother and I am my child.
