Trapped

I began exploring the idea of the impact of smoke on our emotions as opposed to the physical appearence and movement of smoke. I explored the idea of perhaps being in a room filled with smoke and the feeling of being "trapped", "restrained" and sense of sensory deprivation (sense of sight, smell and even sound being compromised). This led me think how I could portray this idea through design.

The birth of the Uruk Hai - Lord of the Rings
The idea of being trapped in some sort of membrane, perhaps using this to inform design ideas - perhaps using a stretch fabric like power mesh or jersey stretched across the body and face.


Move by Rachel 0.37-0.57 The use of stretch jersey to appear as if someone is trapped inside.

A similar effect can be used by the same fabric which creates anti gravity yoga hammocks.
