If there is a question related to my collection, there is only one. So it was not called "copy-paste". I have only one inspiration.

And there is no term Art-illiterate in term of art and fashion. It just you don't like it or you like it.

Anyway, thanks your reply.

Don't think you should post on AmA if all you would do is copy-paste answers from your website.

Also call me art illiterate but I can see absolutely nothing positive from this god damn pandemic.

Hi,

Here is my overview about my collection.
Observing the artwork, “World mask” of the artist Christoph Hefti, leads me to the idea of the real world mask in this current time, the face mask. The “World mask” represents diverse cultural aspects of different parts of the world. Therefore, I wonder whether I can turn the normal face mask to become the “world mask”, containing the beauty of the world’s culture.
The face mask has its long history, both in art culture and daily lives. And for the medical purpose, it has mainly used to protect people from pollution and diseases.
In almost Asian countries, the face mask has become a household item. Especially in Japan, the face mask has found its way into the intricate work of Japanese miniature artist Tatsuya Tanaka. The artist combines real-size everyday objects with his 2cm-tall human figures to create amazing art works. The face-mask motif has been repeatingly used as a part of an ongoing Miniature Calendar series since March 2020. The idea of using the real-size everyday object, a face-mask, has strongly inspired the “20” bag on many levels.
Face mask in our current period takes a seriously important role both in social and cultural aspects. It turns its physical usage into a cultural icon, which represents one’s social responsibility and good citizenship , called neoliberal.
Therefore, I want to use “the world’s optimism bias to the face mask” to symbolize the new normal modernity. All the disadvantages of the face mask: barrier gestures, temporary solution, an optimism bias, a target of racist attacks, a visual representation of the thread of the pandemic, now become the “life imitating art”.

Many thanks.

Many thanks for your thoughts. Maybe I have misunderstood about the aim of an aMA. Thanks for your comment. I will surely pay attention about posting a topic in the future.

But for the fashion and design aspect, the positive thinking should be respected.

Here is my overview about my collection, if it does not take your time, you may read it.

Using an aMA to shamelessly self promote your Kickstarter campaign... Do you think people will actually buy this? In my experience, the world wants to forget about COVID, not have a constant reminder attached to them.

Maybe I’m too late, but maybe you will still see this!

As a singer, I am always relieved to be able to come off stage and not have to be performing every second of an opera. However, the orchestra and conductor are there for the duration of every opera whether they like it or not. How to you manage on the long operas like Tristan or Rosenkavalier? Especially when you are performing 8 times a week…

Also, Mozart and Strauss keep the violins pretty busy, but I imagine in vastly different ways. Do you have a preference? Is one more taxing than the other?

I generally think life is hard because you have to work for what you want no matter what country you live in, but honestly in third world countries there are more poor people than rich people. Poor here goes to another extreme; there are so many people who live below $5 a day. People here have their own set of income tiers, for instance, if you earn$500 a month, you're like, really lucky. Many people are happy but I think that's because 99% are religious. I don't live in a war country but I can say things are way worse there...

It's there in the urban areas, but it's always crowded. In rural areas it's crowded to a whole other level. There has been a lot of medical aid from developed countries with things like pills and mosquito nets, vaccines, some healthcare like AIDS consultation,fistula treatment,TB treatment and most child vaccination is free... Advanced healthcare like neurosurgery is unavailable, though we're getting there.. Generally if you don't have health insurance you're as good as dead,though cash patients get treated faster. And yes, many doctors would gladly take some money for you to jump the line.
