“Moonlit Masquerade”
In the garden silenced by the moon, the couple moved like elegant phantoms. Their Venetian masks, half mystery and half defiance, seemed to laugh at the world and at themselves, as if they had stepped out of Carroll’s twisted dream. He offered her his arm with a gesture that was both courtship and threat. Among tangled hedges and capricious shadows, they sealed a pact of madness and desire: to dance until the clock shattered and the White Rabbit could never again find the way out of the labyrinth.

It's in literature that true life can be found. It's under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth.

Both past and present,
we sculpt our masks to both hide -- and also reveal.
More double exposure macro work from the abalone shell.
Wishing everyone a great day ahead!
This is outside the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury, and despite today being a very cold day, there was blue sky and sunshine.
We cover ourselves everyday
every minute in every way
with masks called names
with beliefs clung to like panes
of glass
so vane so crass
hiding the scars
the wounds like bars
on the spirits imprisoned
because we think
no one cares
They hurt when we stretch
out our desires
like hands to a hot fire
to warm and heal
yet
never to reveal
the truth and the pain
and so if we really want to gain
a measure of tranquility
we really must explain and exclaim
that this pain is for purpose
this hurt never must
be forgotten
give it as payment
a hell here on earth
that demands tolls
that extracts from the soil of our souls
this very life we cannot control
and thank the Lord everyday
that in His invisible Way
we can return to Him
the very thing
He gave us when He died
a life worth living
is a life worth forgiving
forgive yourself
demand
tell the demons here next to our souls
that theirs is no longer to take their tolls
on us
we can give all this hurt
it's just dessert
amen
The mask is telling us that it is in the interest of the common good that the rich get richer. That it is best to let them get on with things and that we all will benefit in the end. Humpty Dumpty said 'There's glory for you!' 'I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. 'Of course you don't — till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knockdown argument for you!"' 'But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected. 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'
Sony A7M3; contre-jour, reflector. The Korean folk mask represents the "academic", better described as the landholding Confucian scholar.
But they are meant to hide what lies behind or to trigger a particular response. Photos can be like that. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender Nokton Classic 40/1.4 at F8.
We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile
― Paul Laurence Dunbar

Carry this Hockey mask everywhere just incase a situation for a photo occurs, used at the gap of the water flow here to get the water through the holes, just playing around with effects.
