VANITY

How to generate as a society emotionally healthy individuals?
My project Vanity reflects on this issue through a capillary graft or an abdominoplasty surgery on the perfect geometric figure of the egg.
Cosmetic surgery is usually a consequence of non-acceptance: our mind tricks us into suffering to fit acceptable social parameters.
Vanity wishes to add, to integrate, to join the unimaginable and create poetic toys with the intention of changing the significance of value and breathing new life in insignificant materials to transform them into emotional objects.

Materials
Vanity One: eggshell, human hair, resin, copper, steel.
Vanity Two: eggshell, human hair, resin, copper, steel, yellow topaz stone.                                               

Technique
Technique 1: resin filling, perforation, hair bleaching and patination.
Technique 2: sawing, welding, resin filling, perforation, patination and sewing.
