Kamigami collection

Kamigami collection is now online at www.cyberesque.de

The word for hair in Japanese ,Kami, is a homophone for the word for ‘God’.Hair was in fact believed to provide a direct connection to the gods.Women's hair has always been a contentious issue. From orthodox Jews, Muslims, and nuns covering it for modesty, to a badge of femininity and beauty in fairytales such as Rapunzel, hair has always exerted a powerful metaphorical pull.Hair is a physical manifestation of our thoughts and an extension of ourselves.In the Kamigami collection, Cyberesque used real human hair in some of the pieces to play with different aesthetics and possibilities of it.
