The work addresses haircut as a ritual act, strongly connected to a woman's experience. A ritual is a ceremony consisting of a series of performed acts. Manipulation of hair through haircuts is very common in the rituals of different cultures. A symbolic haircut marks a person's transition from one state to another. The ritual act is based on the idea of ‘transformation’. Pruning, new hairstyles, makeovers, washing, combing - their purpose is to alternate the form. Frequent haircuts or  or other changes in your physical condition are widely used when trying to overcome trauma as a way of coping. It is believed, that it is possible to renounce the traumatic past in this way, by practicing this act of ''liberation'' for spiritual ''cleansing''. The concrete figure is intertwined with my friends locks of hair whose main motive has been dealing with trauma or grief.
