SWEATPANTS
Julia Lee from STUCK

Julia frequently uses art to celebrate the mundane, discarded and unnoticed. She would like to thank all healthcare workers for their hard work and unseen sacrifices.

In this reimagining of personal protective equipment, hydrophobic suit linings now keep healthcare workers’ skin dry by allowing sweat beadlets to roll effortlessly away into a collection pool. The discomfort once invisibly endured by healthcare workers can now be noticed and appreciated by the public.

At the end of a long shift, healthcare workers can release the day’s sweat in a satisfying cascade before getting some well-earned rest.
