I decided to work with the theme of Martyrs and New-Martyrs.

The Martyrs sacrificed their body for their ideals, believes, passions, for something they consider more important than life itself.

I decided to work with rubber – dolls heads in combination with gold and my own hair.

Head – Brain; Reason; Memory

Gold – Value; Desire; Precious

Hair – Beauty; Passion; Sensuality

Process: I cut off the head of dolls and I removed the hair, next I had them attached to the gold pin using my own hair.
