Thoughts on the head: Laetitia Ky and her incredible sculptures made of her own hair
Laetitia Ky is a young artist from West Africa. The girl has garnered the attention of hundreds of thousands of Internet users thanks to her unusual hobby. She creates incredible hair sculptures.
The girl is very proud of her black and thick hair, and therefore is ready to show them to the whole world.
Laetitia’s hairstyles are really unique and she can give absolutely any form to her hair. In works she uses different things: wire, hangers, twine, cloth, pins and needles. In so doing, the creation of one masterpiece of hair can take about three hours.
The idea of such an unusual hobby came to Ky when she saw the pictures of African women in national decorations, whose hair was pulled in an eclectic style. She was under the big impression of what she has saw so she decided to make experiments with her hair. Laetitia didn’t even know that such an unusual hobby would turn into something more. The girl came to the conclusion that she could use her hair as a response to the themes of ethnic inequality and feminism.
Laetitia admits that the sculptures she makes of her hair are an expression of her thoughts. Let's see together what this girl is thinking.
