Deborah Barr

"I have noticed through social media around the world, that some young people are reclaiming an ancient identity. Dreads represent a timeless connection to the past, through culture(s) and spiritual practice(s), beyond race, ideology or gender. My work reflects GEN-Z’s fascination with dreads.”
