Life-size cold war Soviet child's gas-mask

As an iconic and evocative object, the gas-mask addresses a 21st century urban condition. Claustro-Phobia speaks of children growing up in an urban environment that is embedded in violence, filth and poverty. There are no children here...there are no children playing as the urban environment is suffocating their childhood.
