Authenticity

Real or Masked

A signature is a sign of true authenticity!

What LIes Within

WHO AM I? WHAT DO YOU SEE, BEHIND THESE IMAGES. IS IT REALLY ME? OR AM I PUTTING ON A FAÇADE FOR OTHERS TO SEE?

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO TRUE AUTHENTICITY? THE WORLD IS CHANGING CONSTANTLY, YOU WISH TO ESCAPE LIFE’S REALITY.

SURRROUNDINGS ARE DIFFERENT, PEOPLE ARE TOO. FINDING A PLACE OF PEACE IS NECESSARY TO DO.

WHAT ARE THE MASK COVERING UP NOW? THAT THE PANDEMIC HAS SLOWED DOWN AND VACCINES ARE AROUND?

IS IT NOW A SHIELD FOR SAFETY? TELL ME. OR IS IT TO HIDE ONE'S TRUE AUTHENTICITY?

Who Are You HIding?
