This piece caught my eye as it greatly connects to my final piece in studio. The embellishments and detail of the mask go great with my “moulin rouge/ cabaret” theme as it grabs people’s attention and gives off a sense of confidence and flamboyancy- much like the people during the Belle époque era.  Since my focus is enhancing the face and playing around with different ways our faces can present a mask, I found this mask unique because it follows the traditional way of wearing a mask while still being original with its choice of material, presentation and style.
