OBJECT

Scatterbrain
This is a hair pin stick.
I wear a hairpin stick every day.
This object is my ornament and my souvenir.
It is part of myself, but yet I never cease to feel its presence.
At times I am unaware if I wrap it around my hair or my hair wraps around it.
This specific item is created by my own hands as a form of a conscious therapeutic ritual.
The blue color symbolizes my rationality, whereas the red stands for my emotional vulnerability.
The contrast of these two entities shapes my character into the person I act to be.
It simultaneously produces my warm joyfulness and my icy depression.
Connects my morning and my evening, day and night.
Reminds me of my life and previous death.
Detaches me from all existence...
My hair pin is my ritual.
It is my scatterbrain.
Scatterbrain.
