Breathe Deeply

This project was commissioned by The National Musem of Contemporary Art Korea for 'Enjoy Changdong' public arts festival. This festival is aimed at the local community in this Northern area of Seoul.

The most striking thing to me during my first week in Seoul was the number of people wearing masks, in the subway and on the streets. The resulting absense of expression makes for a striking  image and at times can seem quite ominous. In response, for this Public Art Project, I produced a series of printed masks, transferring digital imagery/photographs onto the front of 300 masks and packaging them with a short description of the project in Korean.
The images consisted of waterfalls, mountains and rural spaces, places that give the impression of space and fresh air, bringing a little of the feeling of this space to the wearer and all that encounter them as they pass through the city.

300 printed masks were distributed to participants at the Festival and in the surrounding area.
