The Do It Right (Clean Suicide) helmet addresses a touchy and often controversial subject. Although it can be taken as a relatively lighthearted comment on this sadly common occurrence, there is a morbidity to it that highlights the pre-meditative thoughts of suicidal individuals.
Conceived and created by Chilean-born, New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz, the Do It Right (Clean Suicide) helmet ensures that blown-up brain bits stay contained inside. A strangely thoughtful design, it helps make the subsequent clean-up much easier on loved ones. A pessimistic mix of humor and reality, this creation is as thought-provoking as it is laughable.
The Do It Right (Clean Suicide) helmet is made up of a black motorcycle helmet, which has been perforated on the side that has a real gun attached to it.
