Francesca's photographic exhibition explores the complexities of femininity, particularly through the lens of hair. By drawing inspiration from the ornate hairstyles of historical figures, she juxtaposes these embellishments with contemporary notions of identity and self-expression. Her work delves into themes of community, personal performance, and societal bias associated with appearance. By focusing primarily on hair, Francesca invites viewers to reconsider traditional beauty standards and promotes a conversation around body positivity and self-acceptance, elevating hair as a significant medium for artistic expression and identity.
Francesca's empathetic eye challenges what femininity actually looks like, using hair as a symbol of identity and societal perceptions in her artistic project.
'Hair plays a huge role in our own self performance... For me, it's an expression of who you are, but it can also be a safety blanket,' states Francesca.
Francesca's touching journalistic approach delves into the universe of fostering femininity - the sacredness, the weirdness, the almost mythical aspects of women's hair.
Her photographs reveal a strong sense of community among women united by hair, challenging stereotypes and questioning traditional beauty standards.
