The Pretend Masks of Our Age

11/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Masks are a universal cultural link found in most societies all over the world. They represent a silent language that defines the essence of human expressions and emotions at various levels – spiritual, psychological, and material. Behind every mask there is a face and behind that a story. We wear masks on daily basis to filter through our experiences and coexist peacefully in spite of our differences. For some masks are a survival tool used to hide loneliness, failure, anger, shame, or grief. Masks can bring us together or isolate us from each other. In today’s world I believe selfies are the pretend masks of our age. The tradition of expressing the self has become an obsession that surpasses cultures, boundaries, and generations.
