Habitantes is a graduate project by a plastic artist who creates characters using malleable and organic materials like tights, nightgowns, and postnatal girdles. These characters are inspired by the artist's personal experiences, offering a unique and introspective exploration of identity and human connections.
The work is divided into two distinct books. The first book provides an explanation of the project and process, featuring a pinkish colour chosen to evoke a fleshy and organic feel. The paper is also coated with soft touch varnish, enhancing the tactile experience. The second book is a tangible manifestation of a Habitante - an inhabitant - itself. It is a long strip of paper that can be folded and unfolded to create various forms - or creatures.
