DAY TWO: Duality; The two of the many masks of me. Whether we like to admit it or not, we all have masks in some form or other. Some are in plain full view and others are hidden.
The mask showing in the main picture is my Joker mask often showing in plain full view. My slightly hidden mask is the Pierrot mask, often silent and deep behind my Joker mask, deep in thought.
It is often said laughter is the best medicine and it's well known how tragic comedians are, most struggling to keep in this world. In that respect I am no different, through my hardest times, like now, I find solace in being the fool, clowning around and the more I do it, the more depressed I am.
"Be not the fool
nor the joker,
stay clear from being a clown
for we all know the real face you wear
is a frown."
Occasionally my Pierrot mask is shown but to a few, for it's dark, deep in thought and deadly silence. Today, I am showing you the Pierrot mask, letting it be revealed, raw and exposed in all its deep tragedy.
Again I used paint to create this face art work.
