Interesting. I think this is what a lot of indigenous and traditional cultures would say about masks, too — that they can reveal something truer or more essential than our ordinary faces (which are also masks of a sort).

Thanks, Beth.

These are terrific, Dave.

This is one way of understanding the Jewish holiday of Purim. We all wear masks all the time, whether we acknowledge it or not. On Purim we have the opportunity, through intentionally masking ourselves, to reveal who we really are.
