The Hair Project was a collaborative performance with Keren Lowell, Dawnell Smith, and Anya Gensel performed in Anchorage, Alaska.

The Hair Project was a durational performance inside a U-Haul truck during a festival that invited artists to create time-based art installations inside moving trucks.

Enzina Marrari and Anya Gensel performed the act of hair removal via electrolysis. Hairs were removed one by one and handed delicately to artist Keren Lowell who was adhering them to a felted garment worn by Dawnell Smith. The individual hairs were added to the garment which was constructed of hair from Marrari’s Tress Pass performance about hair, loss, and identity and raw roving wool.

The piece investigated the ideas of identity - the idealized feminine, the feral feminine, and constructions around control and defiance.
