A visit to Venice during the annual masquerade carnival was one of the best things that happened to me this February. Mask wearers come across like a kaleidoscope of colours and are really very keen to be photographed. Such bold colours with an expression that gives nothing away!
You may never know if the mask wearer is a man or a woman. Nor will you know if the mask wearer is rich or poor. No chances of knowing the colour of the artist's skin. It is a very heart warming way of unmasking your own mind and be unbiased for a few moments.
The sense of mystery that the city creates is almost astonishing. There is no certainty about who will you stumble upon around the next corner.
The ability to hide your real identity is really powerful. A mask tells us more than a face they say.
Give them masks and they will speak the truth!
