THE HAIR OF GOD

One day I discovered that my head was crowned with a surprising matter. Over the years I realized that Society, that monster that I did not understand and still do not understand, used it as a symbol.

But there was more…individually there is a whole relationship of intimacy with the hair.

Another day I understood that the cult of the image, a subject that interested me because the image is a playful translation of the spirit, was divided into two aspects: fashion, or the manipulation and carving of the only organic matter that we have for these purposes. I worked with absolute dedication in relation to the hair, I learned day after day its codes. After walking together for twelve years through the various sets that life has offered us, a rain of tons of hair has fallen on me, and God has told me: Work!
