Doris Salcedo's hair project symbolizes domicide, reflecting on the devastation of homes in conflict zones, illustrating profound human suffering through art.
Her perspective on constructing a house of hair stems from witnessing destruction in places like Gaza, where homes are repeatedly demolished, leaving nothing behind.
Salcedo's art serves as a response to war and political atrocities, channeling collective trauma and anger into imaginative spaces of mourning and remembrance.
Recognized globally, her most notable work, Shibboleth, represents complex themes of division and identity, akin to her current project exploring fragility through hair.
