I Am Not addresses stereotypes, persona and identity through a collection words used to describe women. Viewers are made aware of the complications of stereotype and of how hair is often seen as the most prominent display of a woman’s identity. Viewers bring their own ideas and rituals about hair to the book, creating an infinite number of experiences and meanings.
