Normally a symbol of life, the breath has become a potentially life threatening hazard to others due to COVID-19. This work has used breath as a theme and a tool to scorch silica cloth, echoing the trauma the fabric has undergone as the hot glass has been blown into the moulds. The works aim to embody human fragility and global suffering as a result of the pandemic. The nine pieces of silica cloth that form three moulds are parts of a worker jacket pattern.
