ITEMS FOR THE GREAT RESET
A series of drawings developed alongside Items for the Great Reset, imagining products for a future in which choice has narrowed and standardization has become a virtue. The works approach speculation with the seriousness of product development, making the absurd feel just plausible enough.
ITEMS FOR THE GREAT RESET:
WATER BOTTLE WITH PILLS BOX
ITEMS FOR THE GREAT RESET (WATER BOTTLE WITH PILLS BOX) presents a single, oversized capsule-shaped water bottle sketched in charcoal and vivid yellow pastel. Prokop isolates a vertical pill-compartment along the bottle’s side, its segmented boxes annotated with blocky marks that read like utilitarian signage. The work continues the series' inquiry into designed consumer objects—drawings derived from sculptures conceived to prepare us for a future prefigured by Klaus Schwab's Great Reset—rendering an object that is both oddly domestic and slightly satirical, precise in line and subtle in shadow.

ITEMS FOR THE GREAT RESET:
ULTRASONIC ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
Rendered in muted blues and greys, this pastel reduces a consumer device to two elemental forms: a U-shaped ultrasonic brush head and a rounded, diamond-textured base bearing a power icon. Barbara K. Prokop treats surface and scale with measured restraint, letting subtle marks suggest bristles, cushioning, and molded plastic. At forty by thirty centimetres the drawing feels intimate yet clinical, balancing product-design clarity with the quiet unease of engineered intimacy. Part of the Items for the Great Reset series, it translates sculptural prototypes into a focused technical study.

Prokop renders a soft-sided carrier in restrained pastel, the flap open as a small, rounded pet peers out. Sparse marks build gentle volume while crosshatched mesh and a metal ring register everyday detail. The composition compresses function and tenderness into a compact image; textured strokes and generous white space emphasize scale, making the ordinary object feel furtive, vulnerable, and oddly dignified.

Barbara K.

The framed drawing reads as a product sketch and a quiet critique, rendering surveillance familiar and functional while keeping the image plainly composed and formally restrained.

Framed on a wide white ground, the piece compresses product design, cosmetic ritual and material tactility into a compact study—an exacting, intimate observation of manufactured desire and the aesthetics of modification.
