Would you consider expanding your craft and experimenting with other disciplines? Which ones?

Absolutely. I already see my work as crossing disciplines, but I’m very interested in sculpture, performance, fashion, and installation. I’m drawn to practices where the body is central and where time, decay, or transformation are part of the work. I don’t see hair as limiting, I see it as a portal into other forms.

Collaboration is a very important aspect of your work. How does your team work together?

Collaboration is essential. Hair never exists in isolation, it lives in dialogue with photography, styling, makeup, light, and the person wearing it. Communication in my teams is very intuitive but deeply respectful. Everyone brings their authorship, but we listen closely to each other. I value trust over control. The best results come when everyone feels safe enough to push, question, and let go.

When working with something as personal as hair, what kind of connection do you believe you hold with the subject?

There is always a connection, even when it’s subtle. Working with hair requires proximity, touch, and time. That creates a shared vulnerability. I don’t believe I’m imposing something onto a person — I’m responding to them. Their posture, energy, resistance, and openness all inform the work. It’s a quiet collaboration, even when no words are exchanged.

Do you see your work as being closer to design, sculpture, performance, or ritual?

It sits somewhere between all of them. Structurally, it’s close to sculpture. Temporally, it’s performance, hair moves, lives, and eventually disappears. Emotionally, it can feel like ritual. I’m not interested in categorizing it too precisely; I like that it exists in-between, just like hair itself.

Where do you see the line between your authorship and the client’s identity?

That line is fluid and negotiated every time. My role is not to overwrite someone’s identity, but to reveal or amplify something that already exists. Authorship lives in interpretation and intention, not ownership. The hair ultimately belongs to the person wearing it, I’m just temporarily shaping a moment in their ongoing story.
