Social/Political Hands

For this project we chose a social or political issue that we felt strongly about. I chose the issue depression and suicide to do. The first part of this project was to make a mold of our hands with alginate. Alginate is a mix made out of powdered algae and water. We mixed large buckets of water with the cups of powder and stuck our hands in the buckets. Eventually the alginate would harden and we pulled our hands out.
