Back braces as representative skins

This is the first inspirational publication that present disability artifacts in a new light.
It is a bridge between user and producer aiming to open their eyes to the possibilities and new values that these vital body accessories can bestow upon the user.
Here disability aids become a stage to discuss, understand and cope with disability, illness and human frailty.

Back braces are the first representatives of bodily differences; molded and tailor-made around the body they are a cumbersome second skin.
They are reinterpreted with the aim of transforming them into objects of desire and representative skins.
