Understanding identity isn't always about what you can see. Absence of detail allows the bigger picture to form. As discussed in Cafe Brasserie, details can be distractions, dragging attention from what truly matters.
Physical features do not define who one truly is. A mask does not change one's identity. It changes the perception of one’s identity.
Like the static of a box TV, erratic colors dissolve the face. John by John, draws the viewers attention to the complexities of identity and self-perception.
Masks are fickle. A strong sense of self is forever.Acquisition
