Mask Me is a project about the very thin social threads that govern our society. The subject of the mask is common to every human being living in our society.

We use it to hide from the cruel world, we use it to appear as something we are not, we use it as a habit...

For us the mask is a force. It is also a weakness!
Why do we wear a mask? 
Do you want to conform? 
Is the mask the only way to be noticed?
When do you wear a mask?

The mask is this invisible thing that is always with us. Of course some individuals do not need that attribute.
They are free in their minds.
Everyone is wearing the mask and then ask others not to wear it. This is not possible. We want our politicians and spiritual leaders to be honest. This is not possible if we continue to hide from reality.

 

Where is the trust?
We cannot imagine trusting without an opening of our minds.
We cannot expect something that we are not willing to give.
