The title says it all. Most of my personality is a mask and a false front. Having many thoughts, emotions and repressed feelings behind this mask, it allows me a false sense of belonging and acceptance in the world. It is made out of journal pages from my self-inquiry. Journaling is a tool for me to get beyond my mask self, and to look at the Divine as well as the evil that exist within myself. In seeing the truth about myself clearly and allowing others to see it as well, I feel is the only meaningful way to be. By creating cone shapes out my Journal pages I allow the viewer a portal into myself beyond my mask. They are allowed a glimpse beyond the imaginary front that I present to the world.
I was happy by the way it turned out, although I did not intend for it to be scary. But I later realized this scary repulsive image of my mask, is what believes to be protecting me from painful truths. I felt it was an accurate representation of defensive withdrawal, false superiority, intimidation and pride.
