Girl With Memories Packed
Artists’s Statement
Everyone we meet and every place we visit changes us a little. Our past leaves an imprint. And hair, in this regard, have always been symbolically powerful. In many spiritual traditions, hair represent personal truth, generational legacy and the power of being a witness. In essence, they are the store of memory, and a direct receipt of the past. The body remembers, even if the mind forgets. In some ways, we are a collage art of our past experiences. How do we say goodbye to yesterday, then, when its imprints are there with us in the present?
