Title: Unmasking // Artist: April Love
about the piece
| “Unmasking” is a visual representation of the moment I decided to stop performing a version of myself that was never sustainable. The mask wasn’t protective, it was compliance. Removing the mask hasn’t been graceful, it has been disorienting, raw, and necessary. What remains is a more authentic version of myself, more vulnerable but stronger, unapologetic, unpolished, and revealing a self that is entirely my own. I give thanks to my dear friend Elizabeth for always partaking in my wild ideas. This photo was taken digitally and manipulated in Photoshop only with color correction to achieve the desired tones and also adding the blur between the face and mask. “Unmasking” is part of a numbered series and prints are available. |
