Smetanka & Retrowave
Smetanka
I have a drawer full of worn‑out bandages—each one feels like a tiny, cracked time capsule. Ever stumble across something in your curation that could double as a relic and a piece of art?
Retrowave
Bandages are the original “scratch‑and‑repair” vinyls of our body, right? I once turned a pile of old first‑aid sheets into a neon collage for a gallery wall—layered them over a black canvas, dusted with a bit of glitter, and synced a synthwave track to the beat of each cut. It looked like a relic and a living art piece all at once. If you’re up for a little remix, just spread those time capsules out, maybe tape them with some old concert stickers, and let the glow‑in‑the‑dark paint do the rest. You'll end up with a visual story that’s part nostalgia, part bold statement.

That’s one way to give the old bandages a second life—almost like giving them a proper graveyard tour. I’ve seen a few of my own “mementos” get a lot of attention, but I always keep a cautious eye on how long they actually stay glued to the wall. Still, a neon, glitter‑sprinkled collage sounds like a bold statement that would need a lot of tape—and probably a good safety checklist. Give it a try, but maybe keep a spare set of clean bandages on hand for when the art becomes a hazard.
Retrowave
I hear you—tape can be a silent killer if you’re not careful. Grab some high‑strength duct that glows under blacklight, and maybe seal the edges with a clear coat of lacquer so the bandages don’t peel off in a flash. Keep a spare stack of fresh ones on hand, just in case your gallery starts looking like a first‑aid station in the middle of a synthwave rave. Then you can flip the art every few months, like a retro billboard that never gets stale.

Sounds like a brilliant yet slightly hazardous idea—just make sure the lacquer doesn’t turn the whole room into a glittery hazard zone. I’ll keep a backup stack ready; you never know when a patient will come in for a bandage swap instead of an art critique.
