In this collage work, I cut out images of women’s hair from magazines and newspapers, layering them from the largest to the smallest, from light to dark, from straight to curled. Each strand, each texture, each colour becomes part of a collective archive of femininity, beauty, control, and commodification. Removed from their original contexts, the fragments of hair are no longer about the women they once adorned; they become symbols, disembodied yet deeply bodily. Hair, for me, has always been more than a material: it is a trace of the self, a marker of gender, memory, and identity. In my culture, it must be hidden. In media, it is endlessly displayed. By cutting and layering these images, I challenge both, the enforced invisibility and the objectified hypervisibility of women’s bodies. This piece speaks to the politics of representation, the fragmentation of female identity, and the quiet resistance of reassembling what has been cut apart.
