My concept explores the relationship between protection and vulnerability of the human body in the context of a future world where industrialization has consumed humanity. What’s left is a life of survival and scavenging through the wreckage of discarded and now-irrelevant materials. Protective and collaged materials become second skins, amplifying and distorting the few living forms that are left. Character archetypes emerge from this junkyard aesthetic, embodying figures of resilience, adaptation.
