“Behind our masks” 2022 "The mask that belongs to everyone and that belongs to no one. The mask that protects, that hides, that reveals and that deceives. The mask and its plurality." text 3/3 By attributing a false protective power to the mask, our supreme security, as well as the stability of the ego, will be in equal threat. Without looking at classes, will the practice of empathy and its social impact serve as sufficient reflection? Deep down, the masked being is nothing more than a tool that increases an illusory sensation, when displaced from its elementary purpose. We thus gravitate between enigma and astonishment in the freedom to decide not to show what the face reveals. By merging the frame of the disguise with the real face, we arrive at a painless embankment within ourselves: a plunge into the collective hand that we bring to our face. ✍️ @musrattus 📸 @arroz_pedrolino / @sir.ninguem / @carla.cs.tavares / #ricardoromero #ricardoromeropt #saopedromoel #leiria #arteurbana #urbanart #abandoned #pool #ye
