Comfort hair, created and finished by Yuni Kim Lang, did this because she wanted to use the concept of her Korean heritage in a picture that she can represent towards her background. She uses really long, black wigs and puts them to her canvas to later make a certain shape and figure with the hair and the person in it. Yuni Kim was born in Korea, but later moved with her parents to China. Comfort Hair was created based on how the hair is one of the main things that identifies many individuals' life. It is a sacred entity throughtout many years and the ways it has been treated. It can be seen as a social status sign and a dramatic social trends depending on how the new fashion has treated. The looks of this piece of art did not make me feel good. As I saw it, other emotions and questions came to me. I felt stressed, closed-in, and limited in space in the room I was in. As I spent a total of two to five minutes analyzing the image, I wondered why a long hair is needed? How did you manage to collect a certain amount of hair? Why have a white background and not another image behind that had more of a message? Confusion was also starting to rise
