| Hair from You (Scarf Version) is a variation within Zhou's ongoing Hair from You series. In this work, she uses a scarf that once belonged to her late father as the base material. Rather than constructing an image on neutral fabric, Zhou intervenes directly into a personal relic, integrating her own hair through mending and stitching techniques traditionally associated with garment repair. The work adopts the logic of textile restoration. Threads, seams, and hand-stitching become gestures of reconstruction rather than concealment. By incorporating her hair into the inherited fabric, Zhou merges biological presence with material memory, binding her living body to an object that once touched her father's. When worn, the scarf naturally falls over the position of the heart. This placement is intentional: the repaired textile becomes both protection and weight, resting physically where grief is most often felt. The work transforms a private relic into a wearable structure of remembrance, suggesting that mourning is not something external to the body, but something carried andpositioned within it. Through this piece. Zhou expands Hair from You from representational reconstruction toembodied ritual-where memory is not only stitched, but worn |
