Wooden Mask: Tribal Hermes

This Mask took about 70 hours log time. It was carved from a 2" x 6" x 25" Pine Board. I had the idea for the black background from the movie 'Young Guns' when the native American painted himself.

I find that many people in this world wear masks. Funny thing is they actually believe that they have fooled people. Pretending to be someone they are not. These individuals live this way because of fear. I think that fear is the reason that many mean spirited individuals project their anger. These have so many fears that they can't obtain their goals. They have gifts inside that are forgotten. The core values are often compromised and they can consume people like fire in the woods.

This last year, I've been learning to control information. Others around me are not so deserving of what is going on in my life. They wear masks and pretend to be an image that doesn't add up. It is almost like so many of the worlds citizens are at a masquerade. Bowing to one another, but hating being courteous.
