Crafted from rigid black PVC, this face mask becomes an unsettling transformation of the human form, pressing against the nose to reshape the very architecture of the face. Its sharp design is a reflection of the harsh, constricting aesthetics of vintage asylums, where bodies were often molded, contained and remade to fit into prescribed notions of normalcy. The mask, both suffocating and sculptural, does not merely conceal—it contorts and distorts, pressing the wearer into a new identity, one that is untethered from traditional notions of gender. It creates a genderless visage, an ambiguous space offering a stark and unsettling neutrality.
The mask speaks not just to the dehumanizing practices of the past but to the power of transformation, showing how the body can be reshaped and redefined through artifice. It is a visual and psychological challenge—an object that both reveals and obscures, that both confines and liberates. In wearing it, the individual steps beyond the expectations of what is traditionally seen and known, embracing a space where identity is neither fixed nor fully discernible. It is a statement of defiance, a visual representation of the darker, more chaotic aspects of the self that are often silenced or hidden but that, in this piece, are given a voice—twisted, haunting, and beautifully unsettling.
