My mask embodies the idea that a large part of our identity is externally created and applied. The simple ambiguous shape reflects vulnerability to the influence of our environment, culture, people, and life's experiences on our identity.
Although those same factors, if a applied to two different people, will effect them differently because identity is not solely external. We are created uniquely with different tendencies, gifts, and purposes. Thus in my design there is the condensed patch of fabric at general eye level. Each fabric represents different aspects, specifically, of my identity. The burlap represents my spirituality, because it is strongest when I am immersed in nature and burlap.
