School of Visual Arts: MFA Designer as Author - The Prosthetics Project

Discursive design:Meital Gueta | body image

‘Body image’ refers to our personal perception of how we look, which can be severely altered by the loss of an amputated limb. This project consists of 3 pieces, each reflective on the body image of amputees.

The Prosthetics Project was a 10-week
project for a 3-d design class in the SVA
MFA Designer as Author program.
