Her Grey Hair is a series of projects about the unchanging reality of female labor. A woman’s graying hair corresponds to her life. Looking at my mother’s back, her hair resembles a stiff and dry calligraphy brush, causing her to look even more tired. Nothing shows tiredness better than a person’s back. In this installation, I have juxtaposed a self produced calligraphy brush, a video projection of gentle hand stokes and subtle humming. The hand strokes are soft and consolidating, as if one is brushing through the woods or nursing a baby to sleep.
