In working with the FWM Studio team, Koran’s design evolved into a practical boiler suit with compartments for essentials like baby wipes, flaps and cinches for breastfeeding access, and more. Recognizing motherhood as a form of unprotected labor and essential to the care economy, the artist also created a series of patches that play on labor union and NASA patches—the former inspired by one belonging to her grandmother. MSS (an acronym for Mama Space Suit) positions the work of motherhood as vital, brave, and worthy of our reverence.
