Following the inception of the Coronavirus-led pandemic, we have seen a massive use of face masks in the market as they became a necessity amidst the crisis. As a result, we have seen companies develop unique and unusual facemasks to one-up each other in the market. However, a man in Brussels took the facemask trend to a whole new level as he wears an actual greenhouse on his face to feel calm amidst all the chaos.
Alain Verschueren, a Belgian artist and social worker, has been strolling through the capital Brussels wearing, what he is calling, a ‘portable oasis’. It is essentially a plexiglass mini-greenhouse surrounding his head filled with aromatic plants inside. It kind of looks like the BioVYZR face shield that we saw in early 2020 but with plants inside.
“As time went by, I noticed that people were coming up to me and talking to me. This isolation became much more a way of connecting,” he further added.
