About the project

“How might I work with a wearable ‘mask’ for the future when elaborating on how we use masks now and how we feel around them?”

This is a speculative future scenario on escapism shown through a wearable object.

Can isolation[wearing a headpiece] make you reconnect with yourself when overwhelmed? Or are we entering a future where loneliness will rise due to people isolating themselves in public? Made to acknowledge and create awareness on social sustainability and the blind sickness of mental health.

All materials used are thrifted or surplus materials.
