My Mask:
The color blue on this mask represents sadness (the background colour of my life) ~
The left eye is open ( struggling to see things clearly) ~
The right eye is blind (unable to see my life clearly through the pain and confusion) ~
The butterfly representing freedom is above my left eye because freedom will be possible only with seeing things clearly~
The lips are red, representing anger; they are taped shut because of an inability to express my feelings ~
The lower portion of the mask is yellow signifying hope and my ultimate belief in my own freedom ~
