Serie "Por siempre joven" (Forever Young Series)

Jessica Lagunas. Serie "Por siempre joven" (Forever Young Series), 2004.

Description:
This is an ongoing project I started when I turned 33 years old. Being faced with the dilemma between starting to color my hair or letting grow my gray hairs, I decided instead to embroider each year my corresponding age on black silk using my gray hairs.

Medium:
Mixed Media
