Overview

Description

The project started by recognising a common feature that all ageing parents has - white hair. A white hair is not only a sign of old age, but it also reminds us of the time we have left with our parents, and make the most out of it.

Execution

We set out to collect a strand of white hair from 2,061 parents in 34 cities. With every strand, comes a message that each parent wishes to convey to their children. Every strand of hair together with its respective message are then put into a bottle. The bottles eventually form a 2.5 meter tall art installation. The art installation showcases a 3D rendition of the word ‘HOME’ in Chinese. It is then placed in an exhibition in Beijing a month before the Spring Festival as a reminder to visit home.
