Bad Emotion

is an installation I made in 2017 that includes two pieces, both of which have hair that can be braided at will.The purple one represents jealousy and the flesh coloured one represents low self-esteem, the two emotions are interplaying. I created this piece because I was feeling both of these emotions towards my best friend, but I was also ashamed and blamed that I had to hide what I was really thinking, but once my hair was lifted You can see how my true feelings and my self-loathing make me sad. I confessed to my friend during the making of the piece and we are still best friends!
