Saraba, sarasara

本项目的灵感来自我和朋友担任实习日语教师时被实习校方强制剪发的故事。当时迫于压力，朋友选择了妥协，而我选择了一种迂回的反抗方式。后来我们讨论起此事，两人不约而同的认为自己遭遇了一次身体和精神上的双重阉割。
在日语中saraba的意思是再见，sarasara则用来形容头发干燥松散的状态。

I was inspired by the experience that the school forced my friend and me to cut hair when we were Japanese teacher interns. At that time, my friend compromised under pressure, but I chose a roundabout way of resistance. Later, when we discussed this, we agreed that we had suffered physical and mental castration.
Based on this experience, I made a zine where I made up a school that has morbid control over the hairstyles of teachers and students to express that schools nowadays are still obsessed with “unity” and “easy management” in a joking and exaggeration way, and young people’s sway of body autonomy under the interference of power and stereotypes when they are leaving school.
In Japanese, "saraba" means goodbye, and "sarasara" is used to describe the state of dry and loose hair.
