Dressing Hair and Wounds, large scale works on paper, contain images constructed of a representation of a hair fragment, a chart of acupuncture points, and small, diagrammatic drawings, locating the acupuncture points within the body. These points signify surface markings through which pain may be relieved and a state of calm and balance created.
