Repurposed aluminium frame, medical curtain

Remember this when considering the future is an artwork that aims to confront the notion of accessibility through a juxtaposition of materials. A gleaming, stainless steel cafe barrier, commonly found in leisurely spaces, encases a medical curtain, symbolising the barriers faced by the unwell. Unassuming to passersby, it raises questions about the invisible impediments that segregate sick individuals from enjoying the simple pleasures of communal spaces. With its reflective surface mirroring the world around it, this installation challenges our perceptions and compels us to ponder the nature of inclusivity.
