Our bodies are uniquely powerful mediums for self-representation, and the human body is central to this photographic series. The body is a portable canvas and body hair is a fitting medium for exploring self and identity. Hirsute collection is a series of documented performances that look at hair as a powerful symbol for the relationship between an individual and the society & time they live in.
