The reason I chose to do my project on stars is because it represents my personality. The black background is the black sky at night, and when the sky isn’t cloudy the stars shine brightly. The cloudy sky is the front that I put on for society, and every now and then, who I am really shines through. It’s very difficult to be myself because I feel like people wouldn’t really understand me, so I have to find different ways to express myself. Just like the stars in the night sky find different ways to shine through the blackness of the night. The process I went through in creating my mask was first of all, having my face molded with plaster gauze and plaster of Paris. The next step was to sand it so that it would be smooth. I changed the design so many times, along with the colors. It seemed like everyday I thought of something new. Finally I landed on a dark mask with a small version of the night sky on one side. I believe that my mask project is successful. It’s something that I will keep around for as long as I can. With the materials that I used, I’m sure that as long as I keep it in good conditions, it will last as long as I do. I think it turned out extremely nice and I’m extremely proud of it. I don’t care if everyone else in the world hates it, it’s mine to enjoy and I love it.
