COVHEADS (2020) is a project centered around the recently emerged phenomenon of 'Cov Heads': people who shave their heads in response to COVID-19. The project can be regarded as a time document that seeks to capture and hopefully preserve both the tragic and romantic zeitgeist of the crisis as an archival document.

Apart from charity movements (including fundraising) or for practical reasons (such as that the hairdressers are currently closed), the shaved head appears to symbolize a deeper meaning for many.

The pandemic places things in a new perspective, such as that it puts the insignificance of man againast the power of nature. Faced with death, things like vanity, conventions and finery seem insignificant, and there is a desire to return to the essence. Shaving the head is a physical manifestation of this change.
