INHERITED
Spring 2023


Using my family's stories about their hair, I have created a unique reading experience that celebrates the individuality of each person's story while also inviting them to join in conversation with the stories of those around them. Throughout this creative process, I have explored the power of form in engaging the reader and enhancing their connection to the material. The stories themselves offer an intimate, nuanced, and often humorous glimpse into the lives of my family members.

The Hair Hotline


In contrast to the complexity of the book, the hotline is a simple website that invites people to participate in discussions about hair. It asks individuals to share anything they want about their experiences with hair by leaving a voicemail on "The Hair Hotline." By creating an intriguing online community, the website provides people with an access point to engage in the "Inherited" project.
