Breathe
12 x 10 x 9 inches (30 x 20 x 23 cm)
2024
This memorial to a pandemic year of wildfires and mass protests was made possible with the packaging of roughly 5,200 menthol cigarettes, 200 inhaler puffs, 4 gallons of Mobile oil, and 60 Covid tests. George Floyd was buying menthols in a year when all anyone wanted to do was just breathe.
This piece was fabricated from 100% recycled cardboard and plastic packaging personally salvaged by Mike Leavitt. The ‘straps’ remove and adjust to make it wearable.
Included with this piece is a metal title plaque and hanging bracket for a free-hanging display mounted from the ceiling, as pictured.
Note: Not a working gas mask, this might even make you sick if you where it for too long without adequate ventilation. It’s kind of like the exact opposite of a real gas mask.
