Mask

Soft, gentle gray glass hides a mosaic of pink mother of pearl. A hard shell hides a soft interior. Disregarding your pain, they rip you open in search of the glittering pearl that's within. Though you hide behind rock-like shells, encrusted with barnacles, they grew you to make their pearls, cultivating you before you’re thrown away. This mask asks questions of what outward appearance truly means compared to what’s inside, especially in the face of human greed.
