The Mask of Soul, Tomomi Sayuda 2014
Mixed Media
230x230x300 | Photographer: Tomomi Sayuda
Desktop Fireworks / The Mask of Soul
I am interested in creating surprises and fulfilling human desire to escape the stresses of daily life.
Desktop Fireworks is a set of office stationeries, with entertainment elements. The set has a big button, which people should press only at times when they are very stressed. When the button is pressed, an orchestra of lights, music and confetti celebrate daily life.
The Mask of Soul gives psychological strength to be able to speak in public. It hides the speaker's identity and its microphone picks up the speaker's voice and plays it loud from the speaker on the top of the mask.
