Protect Thyself artistically addresses the global shortage of essential supplies that occured at the height of the global pandemic in 2020.
With the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), there has been a clarion call from health organisations and world leaders for people to take preventive measures to avoid getting infected.
So as to curb the spread of the virus, various world leaders imposed a lockdown in their respective countries. This inadvertently led to a rise in demand for various essential items which became scarce owing to panic buying by individuals and the partial shutdown of the worlds' workforce.
Protect Thyself provides alternative ways in which humans can stay protected using age long traditions and everyday objects.

Nature's mobile shield
Underrated fix!
