This is a mask project for my 3d Studio and Seminar class. I wanted to make a twist on the idea of a mask by using a hand held mirror.
I strongly believe that everyone you see or come across is a reflection of yourself and your soul. Either you like some aspects of them or totally feel opposite, they are a reflection of you.

The side that you look at is like a blurred out mirror representing the hand held mirror. The side that others see is like a persons face, just with the nose and a little bit of the upper lip.
On the left corner of the mask, you can peek through and see the underneath structure which is wire and cardboard.
I wanted to test the reactions and examine the response of others when holding the mask so I took it on the streets of New York and handed it to strangers. Most said that they felt comfortable since it wasn’t awkward to stare at others.
