To prevent shower drains from clogging, many people with long hair will take the loose strands and place them on the wall to dispose of later, but this artist is taking things a step further by creating unusual hair art.
Based in Alabama, Lucy Gafford has an ongoing series on social media platform Twitter called Shower Hair Masterpiece. So far the "starving artist and life enthusiast" has posted more than 300 eccentric creations made out of human hair (presumably her own).
The hair art showcases a number of subjects from food to animals. Most recently, this includes a cup of tea, brussel sprouts, a bear and an owl. There is even an impressively detailed illustration of a person's eye. The dark hairs are typically set on an orangey background.
