Mask 1
Designed by Yoca Design.
Mask 1 is part of the Masks series which delves into the complex symbolism of masks as vehicles of identity. In this series, Yoav Caspi who leads Yoca Design investigates masks in their capacity to celebrate cultural heritage and their role as shields behind which identities are hidden. Through this series, Yoav, a gay Jewish man with Persian ancestry, reflects on his personal experience of concealing his identity in a society that often demands conformity.
Sculpted from plaster, the relief's smooth surface underscores the purity of form with an interplay of light and shadow echoing the architectural precision that defines Yoav’s work. The sculpted composition is a delicate balance between abstract and figurative, capturing the essence of a mask without revealing a specific identity. This ambiguity invites viewers to contemplate the tension between visibility and invisibility, celebration, and concealment.
Mask 1 suggests growth, renewal, and perhaps the hope of emerging from behind the mask to embrace one’s identity. However, the mask remains a boundary, a barrier that reflects the artist’s ongoing negotiation with his identity. This duality between the mask as a celebratory object and as a tool of concealment underscores the work’s emotional depth.
Mask 1 measures 37x32 cm and is available in various colours to suit different spaces. The relief is an exclusive edition of 10 reliefs. Please note that the framing is not included in the original price. It is recommended to frame the relief with a 25-30mm margin to enhance its presence. This spacing allows the piece to breathe and emphasizes its unique edges.
Please allow three weeks for production, before order is shipped.
Note that framing is not included in the original price. If you are interested in a framed artwork, please contact hello@gubns.co.
