Butterflies

The work is part of my body of work Unveil, which I’ve been working on since 2017. The series examines humans conflicting and multifaceted relationship with hair. Through focusing on an intimate experience of hair loss, the works explore social and cultural impacts of hair, gender and illness. Photographed with an medium format film camera, Butterflies is the first self-portrait I captured after I was diagnosed with autoimmunity condition called alopecia.

The work was framed for and exhibited in my solo exhibition ‘Unveil’ in Galleria Rajatila 2023.

Analogue photograph, pigment print on aluminum, floating oak frame, museum glass.
