MYSTIC HYSTERA
2024
VR/ Cinema4D, Unreal Engine, DAZ
Mystic Hystera is the visual examination of the mystification of the female body in medicine. Hysteria in women was considered common and chronic.
This diagnosis declared unwanted women insane to get them out of the way and make them invisible. Nowadays, we still face medical gaslighting in healthcare, and this project aims to raise awareness by educating people on the issue.
