Mask by Arjuna
Submitted by Arjuna,18.
Arjuna states:
I made this mask for a literature project, it's actually a representation of myself. Starting the left side of the mask in my brain, there are multiple colors and to me that just means I try to think with an open mind, there are many possibilities to a situation and there are all kinds of different ways to go about solving them, I try my hardest to think of all ways possible before coming to a conclusion. Moving down I drew some patterns around my eye because I saw them in a rather important time in my life. Continuing to move down I drew a line that swirls because I have a lot to say, but I just don't have enough time to get my point across.
On the otherside of my mask, you'll see that in my brain I have these like brain cells being fried, well that's because I haven't always been so open minded, I was raised in a very culturally suppressed society and they made me look like I was such a bad guy for the things I did, I was fed up with the brainwashing and now I'm doing my best to break apart from what is "right" and "wrong", make my own choices. Moving down I have bags under my eyes because I grew very tired from a few things happening into my life, I turned to drugs and it has been a battle, but I'm fighting it. I actually cut the mouth out if this side because I feel as if no one really cares what I have to say, so sometimes things go unsaid. I had tourched this side because I felt like a burn out at the time.
In the middle of my brain, it has my third eye.
The one that can be both your friend and enemy.
