sense
"The intersection of design and Surrealism often rests on a sense of the strangeness of the human body or a juxtaposition of images or objects that makes both seem unfamiliar," she says, pointing to a "cognitive dissonance" experienced when men returned from World War One with serious injuries, mental and physical, which led to a boom in prosthetics. "While these were a practical necessity for many injured soldiers, prosthetics made visible the way lines between human and object could become blurred…" She refers to Prada, the designer brand that has "experimented with making clothes that blur the lines between body and clothing with their 'breast' sweaters in the spring/ summer 2022 collection."
