'Masked in Flight' medical masks double as Halloween costumes
"Masked in Flight" is a project by Iceland's Sruli Recht that studies what kind of masks air travelers might wear — travelers that wanted to look like serial killers and creepy stormtroopers, that is. Would you feel comfortable on a plane with the person next to you wearing something like this?
Recht made the masks out of laser-cut parchment. You can read all about them in the gallery below, with a caption from Sruli Recht's website that describes each.
Scary, but I love them.
