Nominations and honors: - Installation was nominated for the Art Noble Festival of Stars and was presented in Final of ART Travel Hestia Competition in Warsaw (Poland) Short description of the work: This work was inspired by the mythological ritual of cutting a moribund person’s hair, performed by Thanatos – the priest of the dead. Hair, subjected to authorial reinterpretation, became the essence of the problem raised in the context of human transience. The cutting of hair was replaced by a ritual combing, thus emphasizing the biological process of exchange, in which nature interweaves the threads of life and death. The installation is simultaneously universal and personal as it represents a generational portrait of the artist, juxtaposing her self-image with her grandmother’s face. The installation consists of two wooden structures resembling door frames (fitted with polyester strings to imitate natural hair) that act as the symbolic „time machine”.
