thank you so much for your nice comments and favorites:)!
about the paper structure:
I wanted to use ordinary things to create something disturbing, something weird. probably it would have looked "better" technically with smooth and perfectly round circles and smooth black "studio" floor but I wanted it this way, a "natural" way.

Excellent idea - creative but definitely recognizable as the "Silverfoxx style". I really like the pieces of hair hanging from the top circle. Gives the look of being integrated into it.
Wonderfully done. The lighting is just perfect, the composition meticulously balanced, and of course there's that trademark silverfoxx touch of the absurd. I find it slightly distracting that the cardboard ribbon, well, it just looks like cardboard. But it only bothers me because of the contrast with the ring, which is wonderfully mysterious and made of some utterly unknown material (you hair?!)
I really like the concept you have here I just really wish that the cardboard thing was smoother because all the bends in the cardboard kind of take away from the circular energy
