As a Mexican American who grew up watching famous Mexican wrestling icon El Santo, I was impressed from a very young age by the luchador outfits, particularly the vibrantly colored masks they wore. Similarly, my childhood was marked by playing heavily with fashion, and it wasn’t until this past year that I have begun producing garments and making an effort to create original pieces of my own design. Nowadays, our lives have been marked by a global health crisis, one experts say will repeat itself in the future unless we drastically reduce our environmental impact and rethink the systems through which we operate. As a result, our bodies have also been marked internally and externally – masks have become an everyday staple and significant precautionary tool to protect us from receiving or spreading the virus. It can be thought of as a necessary part of our armor to resist and fight back against the pandemic. Luchadores wear masks within the Lucha Libre fighting tradition, and we wear masks as we work through fighting and fending off COVID-19. Now, over a year into the battle against the virus, the words pandemonio and pandemia have become synonymous and reflective of our lives in the present.
