"Potassium Chloride" Face Mask

Made of sleek white lycra, this face mask becomes an eerie intersection of clinical sterility and symbolic depth, drawing from the cold, institutional aesthetic of vintage asylums and the stark visual language of medical spaces. The smooth, taut fabric hugs the face, creating an unsettling smoothness—an artificial skin that reflects the precision of a controlled environment. Dominating its surface is a bold red cross, both a symbol of care and an emblem of confinement, reminiscent of vintage hospital signage, where the promise of healing is simultaneously bound by the rigid, often dehumanizing protocols of medical institutions. The red cross, both urgent and ominous, is placed deliberately at the center, its vivid color a stark contrast against the sterile whiteness of the lycra. It becomes a marker of both protection and restriction—a signal that the wearer exists within a controlled, often oppressive space, one where identity is shaped by external forces rather than personal agency.

In wearing this mask, the individual steps into a narrative where the boundaries of healing and harm blur. The red cross becomes more than a symbol of assistance; it represents the duality of healing and constraint, the fine line between protection and imprisonment. It forces the wearer to confront the legacy of systems that both save and suppress, inviting them to reclaim their identity within a framework of both vulnerability and strength.
