Each person has a specific characteristic that is part of their personality and inherence. Curly hair is part of my identity and a big part of my memories since hair follicles contain cellular material rich in DNA. I like to hide some part of my memory inside each curl which in this piece I have integrated Persian poetries between the hair strings.
