The Gas Mask Kid

The project started as a deeper thought about the impersonality that the usage of masks has given to the society and how quick things can change from "fine" to "chaotic". The concept developed into thinking about how civilians react to times of chaos and destruction and into a study of how artists can portray certain emotions through one character.

The key points I intended to convey were of loneliness, powerlessness, lack of personal identity and loss of innocence.
