As far as making art is concerned, as long as I can make something interesting, that's all that matters. . Maybe that's why I didn't choose to follow a master. I don't want to follow someone else's example and create a good hairstyle; I want to create something unique.
When we visited him at his home, we saw mannequins wearing wigs and piles of hair. At home, she often makes wigs and spends time drawing pictures. . Both of these are not mere hobbies, but are firmly connected to his work as a hair stylist.
Wigs are like improvised experiments, and I just think it would be fun to have something like this as I experiment. Sometimes I make wigs simply because I want to, and other times it is for work. I want to send references, but I can't find the hairstyles I have in mind when I search for them, so I decide to make them.
So, what are the implications of the other painting?
"When I moved to London, someone said to me, 'If you're going to do this job, you have to be familiar with photographers and art.' So we were looking at paintings together at a museum, and he asked me, 'In this painting, the hair is drawn like this, but if you were asked to actually make it, what would you do? He advised me to look around the museum, comparing it to my job as a hair stylist. . Then I thought, 'Well, before I make it with a wig, can I draw it myself in the first place,' and that's how I started painting. . Now I often paint abstract pictures. I just paint whatever I want, in whatever colors I want."
Taking pride in his work as a hair stylist, Hiro spends all of his time at home , devoting himself to his studies. I just want to create something interesting. Driven by this pure desire, she creates something with her hands as if she is talking to herself. Is this time a form of self-care for you?
I don't dare to think of it as self-care, but the time I spend immersed in making wigs and painting and being mindless may end up being self-care. I work outside the home and think about my hair even at home, so people around me are surprised at how I can work so hard. People around me are surprised, but for me, I just enjoy doing it.
