Body Crust
The 2nd Bangkok Creative Exhibition
30 May - 5 Jul. 2013 @Bangkok University Gallery
Concept:In this day and age, human bodies have to contact with many physical environment changes such as sunlight, heat, dust, toxic fumes and radiation, which are harmful to the human bodies. Hence, it can be seen that humans need to find the way to protect themselves from these dangers. From the information, it is come up with an idea to design an outfit that can protect human body from physical environmental hazards. The concept is inspired by the body structure and environment protection mechanism of Crustacean (crabs, lobsters, crayfish, krill and barnacles etc.). This kind of animals has a unique body structure. It composes of three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. All parts are encased in a hard shell outside which is called “Exoskeleton” as protective armour. Two outfits are the mixture of exoskeleton structure and the standard of human clothing construction that can protect human body with a new and unusual form.
