Reflections

By Marta Diez

At a certain time in my life I became aware of the fact that some beings around me had a mask on, that is to say, their representation of themselves differed from what I saw within them. I then decided to buy a large quantity of cloth so as to paint a different mask on each. In the meantime I began to look into the subject of masks, and bought many books where I found that what most interested me was symbolism and the different meanings that a certain color and shape had around the world, with occasional coincidences between East and West.

We all wear a mask, Marta, and it is a good thing that you describe and make several, even if it is only to find out which one you yourself are wearing.

By Alejandra Uriburu
In every human being in whom the lamp of life is burning, there is a face reflecting it and a mask concealing it.

You are certainly not the kind of person who requires being introduced. Nor do you need reminding anyone of who you are after having once exchanged a few words with them. Just thinking about this as being possible shows an unusual modesty in surroundings as ego-tripping as ours.

“... and it may be awkward having to justify creation from the outside, since the creative act has to do with an urge rather than with anything else. I feel much the same way while I am designing, or when I have to review students’ work at the end of their Faculty courses.”
