Terrarium

There are many myths about hair and its magical power,  most of which are dedicated to women's hair. 

This is why, in a lot of cultures and religious, women have to hide or cover their hair; to tie it up or to gather it in braids. In Russian, the word loose (fallen woman) also means loose hair - hair that is not gathered in a ponytail or braid.

 

Using the exhibition space as a terrarium, I made a few huge braids-creatures. This is an allusion to the natural feminine power, which the patriarchy society constantly tries to tame, tie in a knot and put in a shop window.
