..when you wear a face mask, you lose your identity. I wanted to address the problem of not being able to see people's emotions, so transparency was the obvious solution. There's a smile hidden behind every mask. In the era of emojis, as we spend our days expressing emotions with emoticons, the world was left paralyzed with a single emoji: ??.
It would be nice to be smile at strangers again, understand if we share a common feeling at a point in time- being bored standing in line, amused at the antics of a toddler, confused by an incoherent announcement over the PA system and so on. These used to the the simple moments of bonding between people who found themselves together in a public place. The mask has eliminated all of that so maybe seeing through glass could restore "civility"
