Definitive version 3 masks Miray
1
This mask is made as an outcome of the feelings I have in this period of my life. Feeling isolated, alone sometimes, missing social contact, people, doing my things.
When wearing the mask, the face is not visible but you also can’t see through the mask itself. I tried to portrait the situation with this.
With the photo series I wanted to show this feeling I have. Being stuck and wanting to move, go out. Live.

With this mask I got inspiration from trying and working with the different materials, that’s a combination of things I found and had in my house.
The mask shows for me also a mask that you can find in a kind of folk culture, or maybe a combination of different ones, or a new invented one. I tried to continue that feeling it gave me by making the photo’s and editing them in different backgrounds, which is giving me a feeling of a new kind of world/community. The different backgrounds are giving also more depth to the pictures, which I like.

With this mask I wanted to make something with the thought a mask is giving me in the first place when I think about the definition of it.
That first thought I had, when thinking about the function of a mask or what people want to do with it is hiding your face. Hiding your face, showing something that you not are or not wanting to show your real self. But, the face people show with a mask is never real.
With this thought I wanted to create a new face, a face that’s not realistic, or can never be real.
I used different layers of material. The first layer is bubble wrap, which also gives a strange sound to the mask when the person that’s wearing it moves.
