Prosthetic Reminder, Michael J. Tan

Using the pill as a symbol of both struggle and healing, this mask represents a journey that many people suffered throughout the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, with the aim to address stigmas surrounding mental health. This cultural prosthetic aims to empower those struggling with mental health concerns to communicate their needs while fostering a greater understanding and empathy toward those in need of support.
