The Fluffy Protective Mask features an outer layer made of iron wire and an inner core consisting of a soft human-like sculpture crafted from cotton and silk stockings. The iron wire symbolizes the external protective shell individuals construct to safeguard themselves, while the soft sculpture embodies their inner spiritual essence. The contrasting materials reflect the discomfort of feeling "wrapped," highlighting the tension between protection and vulnerability. When faced with insecurity, people instinctively "wrap" themselves for comfort and security. This tactile juxtaposition reminds audiences' relatable memories, as the conflicting materials mirror emotional conflict.
Additionally, when viewing the mask, its reflective surface captures your eyes—a feature that emphasizes their role as the window to human expression. This interaction creates an intimate connection between the viewer and the piece, encouraging deeper contemplation, invites audiences to reflect on the complex relationship between self-protection, vulnerability, and the acceptance of contradictory emotions.
