Many sculptures are generally made from a variety of materials such as marble or stone. But one woman is building her creations with an unusual item: her hair.

Laetitia KY, a fashion design student from Cote d’Ivoire, uses her own strands to produce fascinating masterpieces.
Sculpting dancers, globes, hands and other objects, the 21-year-old uses several tools including wires, pins, wool and fabric to shape and decorate her designs, which can take up to a half of day to complete.
While she’s always had an affinity for hairdressing, she was inspired to take her creativity up a notch after watching a photo series illustrating the hairstyles of different tribes.
Since promoting her art on social media, she's gotten a lot of attention. Thousands of people have given her pieces a thumbs up on Instagram and Facebook, and they've been shared hundreds of times.
"I'm very happy that lots of people are sharing my art," KY told BuzzFeed. "It encourages me a lot, but at the same time, I feel a bit of pressure from the expectations for my future work. I really hope I will be up to it!"
