Sketching & drawing

When making my project I really tried to tie together identity and memory. My memory was feeling derealization, a feeling that includes feeling disconnected from one's environment and surroundings. I created 3D goggles, a mask with a certain smell, and a helmet with speakers built in. These objects are created to give someone an experience of derealization. These objects are versions of objects that could be found when snowboarding in the pandemic, when people would ski while wearing a helmet, goggles, and a mask so their whole face was covered.

When working on my prototypes, I showed improvement in sketching and working with hot glue guns. I hadn't worked with hot glue guns many times before so this really helped me. I also learned how to better and more safely use a box cutter and X-acto knife. I hadn't made a lot of paper prototypes for projects before and this studio helped me become better at working with different materials.
