Skintone colour sheets
Skintone colour sheets
Designed to be a subscription box, allowing the user to pay a monthly fee to receive a box with various items which allow them to be more “white” so they can fit into society.
This ranges from items such as contact lenses (for light colour eyes), a bottle with bleach to lighten your skin, “motivational” Pantone-like colour cards with visuals to encourage the user to essentially be more white so they can be the right colour.
This kit essentially sells hope through a false sense of happiness - the user will experience momentary happiness which will eventually fade, because changing your skin colour completely to the point of looking like a different race is not realistic or possible.

Small disclaimer:
My response to this project is entirely satire. I do not in any way shape or form endorse any of this.
I have dealt with racial prejudice and bias my entire life, and so this was a way of mocking the 'perfect solution' to dealing with such experiences. Of course this is not a real solution - and no one should ever strive to achieve 'porcelain' because ultimately white is not right / nor the answer to our problems in life. The real solution is learning to love yourself as you are!
