Hair is beauty, hair is property, hair is power.

When the long hair of an Asian woman is cut off and sold as a commodity to become the hair of other women, we see the flow of the female identity from one to another, from private to public, and from east to west.

​

What’s being commercialized is not only the hair of Asian women but also the time and labor of the female workers who work intensive and tedious hours to produce these wigs. In this way, the ever-growing Hair of the providers, the scrupulous and tireless female workers, and women’s eternal quest of pursuing beauty have all contributed to, shaped and reinforced the global wig market and in a broader sense, the global beauty market, within which, the beauty both empowers and disempowers us at the same time.
