“There is an unconscious propriety in the way in which, in all European languages, the word “person” is commonly used to denote a human being. The real meaning of persona is a “mask”, such as actors were accustomed to wear on the ancient stage ; and it is quite true that no one shows himself as he is, but wears his mask and plays his part. Indeed, the whole of our social arrangements may be likened to a perpetual comedy.” 

-Carl Jung

This painting is about the many masks we wear, and shedding the false mask to reveal the authentic self. Tattoos and clothing can also be interpreted as shields that mask or cover our true identity. You only see what I want you to see. Is this mask protecting me, or is it harming me? We must ask ourselves what show we are acting in, and whether it is a role worth playing.
