BODIES SANCTUARY

Creating our own land

I envision this to be a devise that will help people without functioning legs be mobile. Its purpose is

to support and protect the lower body from the elements, while both condensing its form, and using its form to create the most aerodynamic shape possible.

Creating this devise would be the first step to be able to learn the balanced and mobile positions of, cast, and create protective sanctuary for the shape of people's bodies outside of the ambulatory society. It would both be a functional gift (profit) to these individual's physical and spiritual world, as well as a poetic description of the psychological revolution we are moving into. Creating movement for the immobile in the physical plain begins to undue our conformity, and let us create the way we move through and connect with our earth.

The Functions The Sanctuary Offers Physically

-One can use their center of balance and its inherent rocking motion to help propel forwards.

-Light weight, waterproof, durable, and protective against pressure soars.

-Provides weight bearing for bone density.

-One may go into crawling position, and standing position (on their knees).

-One may go upstairs backwards with support from crutches.

What The Sanctuary Offers Spiritually

-Living in a range perspectives: Height fluctuation, On ground vs. standing on knees.

-The ability to feel in your body enough to create your own balance mechanism.

-Supports the movement of full body continuum therapy.

How The Sanctuary Is Made

The person's lower body will be molded into the shape that fits them. Whatever limbs they have, will be folded up into balanced positions inside the cocoon.

Silver Ball - Brace hinge, adjustable to wearer's range of motion.

-Supports, moves, and locks in any position.

-Enhances movement with Spring.

Green -Armor - material?

Aqua - Carbon fiber, aerodynamic shape. One can use their center of balance and its inherent rocking motion to help propel forwards.

Yellow -Padding necessary to protect from pressure soars. All around legs.

POSITIONS

Legs lock and unlock to and away from chest at any angle.

Swinging With Arms, Crawling, Walking on Knees

Developing Possibilities For:

-Climbing stairs.

-Moving through natural rough terrain.

-Collapsable-spring-crutches that will store in the carbon-fiber shell's pocket.

Taking the comfort of our bed to the street and forrest.
