Facing the Sky, 2001

What color is the sky? And if we decide for ourselves, whom do we see in there? The center is the reflection on our self; the outlook is the reflection in the other. A mask as counterpart hides more than it reveals, solidifies more than it moves and moves more than the sight.

These masks change faces and the perspective as they turn against us in order to make us reveal ourselves.
