Museum of Masks
Life is a museum of masks that we collect and craft over time, to carefully choose which face to display in each room of our existence.
Ever thought about how we shape our personalities like carefully curated social media feeds? Picking and choosing which parts of ourselves to show the world. It’s like creating a highlight reel of who we think we should be.
Our capacity for calculated, civilized, sophisticated, and artistic deception makes us more cunning than any beast we know.
So, when you’re alone with your thoughts, who are you really? Beyond the masks we wear for others, and even the ones we wear for ourselves - what remains?
Yes, it’s in our human nature to change, but do we transform or imitate? Do we digest ideas or swallow whole the thoughts and dreams of others?
Most of us live other people’s lives, filled with borrowed thoughts, recycled dreams, and a phantom life.
