This project delves into the enduring metaphor of the mask to explore the limitations placed upon women throughout history. By examining the use of masks in various cultures and historical periods, the project aims to reveal the societal expectations that have confined women to specific roles.
Society has used the mask as a metaphor to define and restrict women's identities. From ancient rituals to modern beauty standards, these expectations have functioned like fixed masks, denying women the freedom to express their full selves. This project sheds light on the ongoing struggle for women's liberation by revealing the historical roots of societal expectations. By dismantling the metaphorical mask, we can work towards a future where women have the freedom to express their authentic selves.
