Without light to reveal our individual features, we would be faceless. Without the differences light creates, we would all be the same. Light can give us our identity or take it away. We are all made of matter, but if that matter did not reflect light, we would be invisible.
The same mask, made of the same material, can take on different features and expressions, convey thoughts, evoke images or tell stories through light alone, with the light changing each time.
