Women's hair is seen by many in society as an extension of self, and self-expression. This piece is one of three in a series called 'Afrodite' (a play on words, highlighting the focal style of hair, being Afros, in combination with the Greek goddess of beauty and love, Aphrodite).
This series celebrates the beauty and vibrancy of women's hair through the intentional use of vibrant acrylic hues, in stark contrast to the white background and face of the subject being in grey-scale.
This piece sports Hamon's signature red edges commonly seen on her raised canvas pieces.
