Faicemasq: A transformative canvas of creativity and imagination

Around five years ago, at the end of the global pandemic, one object left a strong impression: the face mask. Its widespread use obscured expressions, muted identities, and affected how we interacted with one another. FAICEMASQ reshapes that connotation—celebrating the end of the pandemic through the lens of creativity and imagination. It draws inspiration from the roles masks have played throughout history and across cultures as creative expressions of ritual, transformation, and identity by infusing exciting and imaginative ideas and themes using new, modern creative tools.
