Description

“The Masks We Wear” speaks for every moment we’ve smiled through heartbreak, whispered “I’m fine” when our soul was anything but.

Painted in soft flesh tones and shadowed light, the figure holds her gaze steady while a detached mask rests below — a quiet symbol of every practiced smile, every word spoken to deflect pain. Each brushstroke reveals what lies behind composure: exhaustion, faith, and the small, trembling hope that someone might really see us.

This piece captures that fragile act of honesty — when the mask finally slips, and grace meets us exactly where we are. It’s not about perfection; it’s about permission.

Artist Note

“This piece came from the quiet nights where my only prayer was, ‘Lord, help me mean it when I say I’m okay.’ It’s about learning to lay down the mask — to let truth, not performance, be the offering.” — Quintessa Du Bois
