The exoskeletal form is designed using parametric modeling software, creating organic, bone-like structures that follow the body's natural contours while maintaining structural integrity. The digital design is optimized for 3D printing, with internal channels and cavities for electronics integration. LED strips are embedded throughout the printed structure, distributed to create even illumination across the form. The lights activate in low-light conditions, transforming the wearer into a source of ambient light that provides both practical visibility and emotional comfort. The parametric generation creates forms that echo skeletal structures, giving the piece its name while exploring themes of vulnerability and protection. The 3D-printed material diffuses LED light, creating a soft glow that radiates outward from the body-mounted structure.
