Hair State — an accessory collection that explores the image of hair as a metaphor for the life process: infancy, youth, and maturity.
Hair is a symbol of vital energy and a biological archive of our internal state, embodying the time and resources we have accumulated over the years.
Infancy: Small clips symbolize the very beginning of the journey—the purity and delicate fragility of the first childhood strands.
Youth: Medium clips embody a period of active change, the search for one’s style, and experimentation during self-discovery.
Maturity: The largest and most durable clip represents inner strength, balance, and the ability to hold the accumulated life experience.
The pieces are handmade from self-hardening clay, coated with acrylic and a glossy varnish.
The project portrays hair as a continuous process and a life journey, and the texture, roughness, and unevenness of the clay allow for the conveyance of the vitality and naturalness of the hair depicted in the hair clips.
Thanks to their clean forms, the clips will be the perfect base to easily complement any everyday look. Despite their simplicity, they serve as an expressive accent, adding individuality.
