FABRICATED INTERACTIONS DURING SOCIAL DISTANCING

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit recently, we began to hear the term “social distancing” more and more, so I became interested in the idea of isolation and the desire we all have to interact with each other. I first thought of some multi-person wearable prosthetics that I had created in the past and wondered how I could do something similar, but instead project the idea of a single person that longed for human interaction so bad that they would make these contraptions or prosthetic devices from materials and objects on-hand to mimic physical connection.
