The mask is a symbol of duality: true or false, real or imagined identity, secret and disguised thoughts, different forms of the "I." Physical appearance is one thing; inner feeling is another. The mask is intimately linked to identity, true or false, real or imagined, a symbol of duality, even usurpation. Human beings are not monolithic; many facets coexist.

Neither the mask nor the person hiding behind it have responsibility or identity: the mask is not the person, and the person is not the mask. This space between "face and mask" belongs to no one. The mask, however, allows one to free oneself, to externalize, to expel all the feelings and prohibitions it reveals: of submission, rebellion, suffocation, castration, or even… unfulfilled desires.

Is everything going to waste in the pursuit of… work, success, the fulfillment of dreams?
