The item was designed as a “protector” for the hand and forearm. The concept of sampling reality is crucial, as it explores the organic structure of the shell—an enduring protector of life for millions of years—reimagined and digitally produced.. The title shell alludes to the masterpiece that is “Ghost in the Shell”-also asking the question about the dystopian future of humanity and our planet in an era of increasing digitalization and climate disasters, where we are awakened daily by notifications of discoveries previously known only from cyberpunk cultural works. Can the technologies we see as innovative today contribute in the future to solving the problems they themselves co-create? 「SHELL」invites reflection on the boundaries between the natural and the artificial.
