Speculative Touch Interface (Hair)

This sculpture is crafted through an intentional remixing of mundane refuse: cardboard pulp sourced from discarded Amazon packaging becomes skin-like membranes, enveloping a hybrid anatomy composed of recycled plastics and obsolete tech relics. Human hair is integrated into the form to point at the intimate, corporeal connection between body and a device that is always collecting personal data.

This process transforms passive objects of consumer culture into vibrant prosthetics, suggesting radical possibilities of identity beyond the scripted performances of the digital era.

Rather than reinforcing the easily commodified “authentic self,” these works celebrate fluidity, rupture, and illegibility—remaking the body itself as a design challenge and affirming transformation as a liberatory act.
