Out of Sight Out of Mind

The masks I created for Out of Sight, Out of Mind represent my personal journey as a high-risk individual navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout this crisis, I’ve found it shocking and interesting to witness the culture war that mask requirements created.

Each mask in this self-portrait series was hand-crafted by me. While medical masks seal to protect their wearer, these masks are made with mesh and have gaping holes, exploring the tension between protection and remaining completely vulnerable.
