I took inspiration from old athletic padding as well as some armor elements to try to convey how people pad their ego with circumstances to soften blows. Like when I lost my job in January 2020 I did this saying I didn't really like my job anyway. It still hurt a lot and that not so severe mental state I let happen sent me into a depression that harmed my relationships with friends and family. Now I do realize that it did hurt and I liked that job just was burnt out. No, it wasn't my calling in life but it was good people and a good company for the most part. Between looking for a job and looking to start my art career finally COVID happened and the stimulus and the fact the world was slowing down was the perfect time for me to be taking some action in my mind.
