I've always used masks. I think it's a lot about the fact that masks often reveal a sort of subconscious element to a character.

With every rising of the sun Think of your life as just begun. The past has shrived and buried deep All yesterdays— there let them sleep, Nor seek to summon back one ghost Of that innumerable host.

But in his blindness and his sorrow He looks to yesterday and tomorrow.
The message that underlies healing is simple yet radical: We are already whole.... Underneath our fears and worries, unaffected by the many layers of our conditioning and actions, is a peaceful core.

Healing is the rediscovery of who we are and who we have always been.

I think there's a general confusion that my work is about types of photography. But really that's just a tool to introduce some questions I have about seeing.
