With your hair no less!  Inspired by stories of creation native to Aboriginal culture, So Yoon Lym collaborated with students whose locks were braided based on maps of the ancient universe, each scalp showing a topographical pattern of rivers, lakes, mountains, and valleys.

I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to painstakingly plait each individual’s hair,  after a unique map of the nature surrounding us. What an amazing bird’s eye view!
