Identity Project

Description

My identity mask project is a representation of the things I like and believe. I drew a Plague Doctor mask, which was typically used throughout the Middle Ages when doctors would treat patients with contagious/dangerous diseases; supposedly, they would isolate the doctor from the outside air, not letting them experience such diseases. This represents how I may be able to tolerate and shield myself from negative encounters in life. However, this also shows that if I don't expose myself to those things, I won't grow from them, which will leave me unexperienced about them. This is why there are question marks visible behind the mask. The stickers I drew on the mask show the things I like, for example, volleyball, nature (the rose, planet, etc.), and food (egg).
