Covid 19 Masks with Caravaggesque lights

Covid 19 Masks as a symbol of this difficult period for humanity which had to change its way of life and saw freedom and happiness flee away.

A series of dramatic shots, with strong lights and shades, darkness that envelops the man's face like the dark colors of Baroque painting. The masked face, illuminated in a cone of light, is swallowed by a shady background illuminated by a brushstroke of red recalling the famous Caravaggesque red. Masks as a symbol of this difficult period for humanity which had to change its way of life and saw freedom and happiness flee away. These are colorful, creative masks made from household items worn to soothe the wounds of these dramatic days. Masks covering the pain for our troubled times, where the future appears insecure and shrouded in the darkness.
