I like the Concept, I still wish the hair was in glass or epoxy rather than a plastic baggy, eoxy would allow you to shackle the hair with complete chain links evoking a more permanent feel to the shacking of self.
The baggy of Hair to me feels more like someone saving a lock of hair from a baby or a childhood romance. Dosnt really have the feel of sacrifice.
Anyways just my thoughts.
I do appreciate it more now that you've explained it. And this is simply my opinion

I do, I like it all.. except the baggy of hair😅, I don't get why it's there, and the ziplock bag with hardware hook and supplemental chain link which seems redundant with the hook, makes that part look Ike an afterthought. It Dosn't add to the piece at all.

The hair in a baggy on the hook ruins it for me, it feels like first art school project in the juxtaposition module, almost as bad as Band-Aid on a steak.
If you were using human hair you could have been less lazy with it.
Anyone coming to shit on me, art is meant to be criticised/discussed so ets have a discussion.

>A string could tie the hair into a little bundle to dangle from the hook (consider meaning strong could hold or that being bundled or tied could mean).
Woa that brings in a whole ephemerality of the attachment of self to the object. where the moss even though it continues to grow and change, the hair not only stays the same as it was when it was cut from the artist eventually fades away, like the memory...
The more I talk about it the more I like the baggy, I just whish it was more stuck into the piece to have some sort of plastic is forever, environmental impact, the artists hair as the unchanging time anchor and the moss adapting and growing
This is the most I've talked about art in a long time... ☺️
