Making of the Mask
Experimented with the floral design and frame assembly.
Created and a basic version of the frame, which was fitted onto a tester.
I created a model to fine-tune the design. I also needed to create the lenses from a material that could not be 3D printed, but could be used to make a mold.
The lenses needed to be clear, but I also wanted roses to be integrated into the lens. I 3D-printed my Rhino model and created a mold out of it. Then, I desiccated rose petals, mixed it with Epoxy resin, and poured it into the mold. This resulted in the final lenses.
Finally, the mask was assembled according to a technical drawing.
