Mask #1

Masked Masculinity – I am investigating the belief that people are never able to show their true selves. That everyone has something to hide. Everyone is wearing a mask. The mask can be used to hide who you are, to cover up a perceived weakness, to make you seem stronger to your enemies like the luchador, or make yourself whole so that you can shine for your audience like the drag queen. I invite the viewer to think about the masks that they wear. Who are you pretending to be? Who are you hiding from? Where do you want to go?
