Historical wigs—especially those from the Baroque era—have always fascinated paper artist Asya Kozina. “This is art for art’s sake aesthetics for aesthetics,” she writes, “no practical sense. But they are beautiful.” To celebrate this, she constructed a series of wigs made entirely from paper.
Asya used white paper to highlight the wig’s forms and their elaborate details. Tall bouffants, floral bouquets, and even nautical ships make up these crazy hair pieces. And to think—people actually wore these!
There’s more paper masks and costumes to see on Asya’s Behance page.
