Ecce Homo

This capillography cycle, which expresses the difficult fate of individuals, be it due to incurable illness, unbearable loneliness, loss of a loved one, lies, fraud, poverty, hunger, etc., is a cry for help that also generally serves as a reminder of the great suffering in the world caused by terror, war, and disasters.
Human beings, symbolically represented by human hair, are helplessly exposed to the often crushing weight of fate. Escape is impossible. Surrounded by civilization and technology (gleaming metal frames) that accompany us from cradle to grave, people are often left alone in their suffering. Compared to the cold gleam of the metal frames, the thought of possible rust in the iron, alluding to the transience of all earthly things, seems almost comforting – every suffering, no matter how severe, eventually comes to an end. Even if that end means death.
