Artwork Description
Masked 1
0.0 x 0.0
"Masked 1" began as a statement on COVID masking. However, subsequent layers seemed to give the woman's masked face new meaning. In responding to this piece, people identify exhaustion, sadness, frustration, pain, innocence lost, resignation, weariness and wariness… but also a sense of protecting others and commitment (as a medical worker) plus patience, compassion, deep determination, fearlessness, confidence, awareness, a willingness to engage, and hope for tomorrow—perhaps a quintessential hope that one day she may put aside all the masks against illness, difference, and inequality.
