About this work

This painting is made of human hair on cotton fabric. It's interesting because the hair is arranged in a pattern that looks like a traditional keffieh, a type of Middle Eastern scarf. The use of hair to create this image is unusual and thought-provoking. You can learn more about this kind of work by looking up the artist, Mona Hatoum.
