Reflection
After the critique, I started to think about creating a full body outfit. I intend to focus mainly on two parts of the female body – buttocks, and breasts as I feel like they are the most sexualized and idealized by the society. I really want to figure out, which material is best for creating a skin-like structure. For this prototype, I used transparent silicone and tights. The result is interesting but in no way is it as appealing as the first prototype. I feel like for the final piece I might do the same thing as I did with my first prototype but additionally I will add an extra layer of tights and cover it with silicone to make it as disturbing as possible.
