About The Artwork

A body of work that highlights my stance in solidarity with the people and women of Iran fighting against the oppression and violence towards women. I performed an act of cutting my hair that would be burned on the surface of the vessel, most typically called Horse Hair Pottery or Horse Hair Raku, and shared a video of it on social media, receiving hundreds of messages from all over the globe. In a world of global unrest we are all experiencing our own fights for rights of choice. I was able to share that and build a community of shared sentiment that just proves there is hope and humanity in the world. This vessel is made of porcelain thrown on the pottery wheel, and finished with the burn markings of human hair. This vessel does not hold water and bares a large surface crack that makes it especially fragile. The crack mirrors the burn marks and only emphasizes the fragility and strength of the fight for women's rights around the world.
