Tousles
Creation — Olga Drobysh
Curator — Julia Danilenko

Since ancient times, hair has been treated very tenderly. Ancestors believed that the hair — tousles — is a kind of antenna that binds a woman to the universe. Three-strands braids, which girls wove until a marriage, were a symbol of unification of the present, past and future. In our time the attitude to the hair is quite different. Did they become an accessory? Or do they still contain our power?
