This proesthetic leg cover is a shin-shaped plate with black appendage as foot. The design on the forest-green leg has an intricate see-through cut out pattern. Abstract petal-shapes and repeated mandalas in what is reminiscent of lacework makes it similar to a doiley pattern. The black foot at bottom is a thick, boat-shaped block, with a gentle upward taper in the middle, resminiscent of a clog with a flat sole.

A 3D printed hand prosthetic in the form of a glove-like assistive device on a white background. The device and it’s other smaller components are in black. It has four fingers and an opening for the thumb area. The part for the fleshy mass on the palm, also known as the Thenar, breaks the solid black enclosure with a perforated design. The device extends from the palm to the wrist area, connected by several strings attached on punctures. The wrist plate is similarly designed to a thick open bangle.

An assistive device in the form of a forearm prosthesis in black. It is in a non-traditional design with cues from decorative and fashion jewelry. The palm area is geometric in shape and has details cut in triangles and squares. The device extends to the wrist, followed by thin wires breaking the solid object into something see-through. The arm plates have circular punctures on the sides where a red ribbon is sewn through, creating a corset effect.
