Hairy Bone Balls delves into the unsettling, uncanny nature of cultured cells as alien-like entities that persist outside their original context—detached from the body yet maintaining an intrinsic connection to it. These sculptural forms, composed of bone-like structures intertwined with hair, evoke a disquieting interplay between familiarity and otherness. The presence of hair, a distinctly human/mammalian element, woven into these otherwise amorphous, bone-like shapes amplifies the sense of dissonance and highlights the ambiguous boundary between the self and the non-self.

The work forms part of The Absence of Alice series.
