This series transforms the bobby pin, an everyday object deeply connected to Black hair care and self-expression, into a medium for portraiture. Through repetition, texture, and placement, each work explores the relationship between beauty, identity, and memory. Once used to shape and secure hairstyles, the bobby pin now becomes a tool for honoring the individuals and stories represented. These portraits celebrate the creativity, care, and cultural significance woven into the rituals of hair and personal expression.
