A shared ritual of combing and offering hair strands, which turns a solitary gesture into a shared expression, is at the very heart of K.A.M.I. The piece asks visitors to leave a piece of themselves behind in a circular space modelled after the Montenegrin Guvno, a traditional meeting place and community centre. The work examines how identity is formed, shared, and ritualised, and is based on the dual meaning of the Japanese word "kami" (hair/spirit). Hair growth resists commodification and prioritises connection over individuality, transforming into a living record of presence. K.A.M.I. is a performance of belonging, vulnerability, and intimacy.

Skupni ritual česanja in podarjanja pramenov las, ki samotno gesto spreminja v skupen izraz, je v samem srcu performansa K.A.M.I. Delo poziva publiko, da pustijo košček sebe v krožnem prostoru, oblikovanem po vzoru črnogorskega guvna, tradicionalnega središča skupnosti. Delo raziskuje, kako se identiteta oblikuje, deli in ritualizira, in temelji na dvojnem pomenu japonske besede »kami« (lasje/duh). Rast las se upira komodifikaciji, daje prednost povezanosti pred individualnostjo in se pretvarja v živi zapis prisotnosti. K.A.M.I. je performans o pripadnosti, ranljivosti in intimnosti.
