Flip it‭, ‬twist it‭, ‬braid it‭, ‬run your fingers through it‭. ‬The Flippy Lights draw from the tactile language of hair‭, ‬evoking the‭ ‬familiarity of interacting with a long‭, ‬continuous strand‭. ‬The work references not just the form of hair‭, ‬but the embodied knowledge that comes with it‭, ‬the instinctive gestures‭, ‬habits‭, ‬and rituals that many learn over time‭.‬

Composed as a cascading‭, ‬flexible system‭, ‬the lights mimic the movement and density of a long head of hair‭, ‬inviting both visual‭ ‬and imagined touch‭. ‬This interaction produces a range of responses‭, ‬comfort‭, ‬curiosity‭, ‬intimacy‭, ‬while also activating a shared understanding among those who recognize what it feels like to handle‭, ‬style‭, ‬or care for it‭.‬

By translating hair into light‭, ‬the piece transforms a deeply personal and often feminized experience into a spatial one‭. ‬It becomes both object and memory‭, ‬gesture and structure‭, ‬an illumination of the subtle‭, ‬collective knowledge carried within the body‭.‬
