'Masked, I advance' — Descartes' phrase captured the paradox of identity as revealed through appearance. In a culture once fixated on transparency, the mask resisted simplification, protecting complexity. Between concealment and exposure, truth flickered in the tension between presence and absence. This exhibition explored how identity and reality emerged through mediation, with the mask serving not as a barrier but as a threshold to understanding.
