SYNOPSIS
There are certain images with such strong associations with particular meanings that it seems almost impossible to see them for what they really are. A shaved female head is definitely one of them. It nearly always implies something negative; a disease, a punishment, etc. Marianne and the Water Veil shows fragility of such image.

The video is part of the series Haiku Videos, which originate in daily recordings with minimal staging. They are created when a real life situation motivates an idea. Like in Haiku poetry, the images of Haiku Videos are based on directly observed events, objects or occurrences.
