Facing the Ground, 2001

And what color is the ground? And if we decide for ourselves, what do we relate to when walking on it?

Walking on the ground defines our center of gravity within ourselves. Facing the other, we have to question our position. A mask is a confrontational other, it manifests the questioning of something unknown. As we look up to reflect on ourselves, we become vulnerable - facing the ground in reflection.
