mask project


So over the course of the winter break I had decided that I wanted to do a series then display it in a gallery. Sort of of one last hoorah of college. I've altered my ideas to five masks to which i hope to have in some kind of hospital or psychology department in my life. They were to begin with me not knowing about my dad's real situation, then changing to me hearing about my dad's situation, then dealing with it in an emotional sense, then locking it up inside with the last mask of inspiration. I've thought it through and it really sounds like the five stages of grieving. I like this idea with the masks being self portraits and the last - instead of acceptance being inspiration. I'm not sure how I'll deal with the last two masks but have a clear goal for the first three and am excited to see how the whole ordeal turns out!
