The Face Behind The Mask
The Pandemic has helped people perfect the art of fake smiling as numerous tutorials teach people how to fake smiles. Since we can only see the upper half of each other’s faces, it is difficult to discern the expression of people as their entire face has been covered.
Maria portrays the use of a mask by wearing a full-face mask made from leaves. Through this mask, people can conceal their feelings, especially to people they don’t like or want to talk to. Regarding greeting, people now use their eyes and eyebrows, isolating the lower facial muscles to show a pleasant expression.
