The appearance of material substances can change when something is added or removed. A series of analogue experiments were carried out to find out which new shapes, structures or materials can be created. In order to achieve a visually appealing result, the experiments were accompanied by the question of which shapes, structures and materials we find aesthetically pleasing and noble and why others do not allow this sensation.
Using the search field of the contrast between disgust and beauty, the decision was made in favour of head hair as a material. The idea of using repulsive-looking material and creating something appealing from it gave the impetus to create pieces of jewellery. As a result of the experiments, hair that has fallen off returns to the body as an object of jewellery.
