I don't think I've ever read an art book like this, and now I think I should more often. The centerpiece of this book were the photographs of Laetitia Ky's incredible hair artwork, hence the 5/5. I looked her up on instagram and she also does paintings, which I hope she will include in a future work. Each picture or series of pictures was accompanied by a bit about the work itself or what inspired it. Her work is genuinely thought-provoking, and I'm glad I found her through the Read Around the World Challenge.
