INSIDE A MASK — Jin

99% of South Korea is wearing a mask on their face due to the current pandemic crisis making it almost impossible to communicate through facial expressions.

So how can one reveal their emotions? Even when “normal life” is completely flipped, people still manage to adapt and carry on their daily tasks. Under the pressures of life in a pandemic, not being able to understand the emotions of people around you sounds paradoxical when so many mixed feelings are being suppressed behind that same masks.





What I created represents dissonant human emotions all trapped and enclosed in a mask. The three masks on the wall evolved in unique ways: on the right a leopard, ready to bounce for improvement, in the middle a hundred eyes to keep track of the fast evolving world, and on the left the complete loss of will to express oneself, giving up on all facial expressions.

Unsaid words are on the verge of explosion in the form of dripping fabrics.
