100 Layer Armours
I had this thought in my head for a long time about our skin, and the amount it is acceptable to show in a public space. Everyday as we walk on the streets, we are being observed by other people, and by being seen we are also judged, mostly by our clothing, our outward appearance. There are dangers of this. Not because of the skin shown. Some take advantage of people's bodies regardless of the state or amount of their clothing.
Do we have to wear a 100 layers to protect ourselves? Would that make a difference?
I feel strongly about this topic. The first question a victim gets asked is "What were you wearing?" as if that could be the enough of a reason to harass someone. Young girls especially experience some form of harassment all around the world. It happens everyday.
I wanted to shed light to this by dressing my friends up in as many clothes as possible and documenting their experience. It was not a comfortable experience, from the heat and the sweat to the sheer weight of it all, i wouldn't recommend it in your day to day life.
