The Mini M's '23

Mom Mask Series

Fired ceramic with glossy glaze

This sculptural display mask uses a unique layered composition to explore familial resemblance and identity. The piece features a prominent, glossy purple base mask supporting two smaller, distinct half-mask structures layered across the lower cheeks—one finished in an earthy green and the other in a vibrant cobalt blue. The title playfully references the nickname given to my sister and me as my mother Maria's mini me's. Part of a larger series dedicated to my relationship with my mother—who passed down her lifelong love of theater and storytelling—this non-wearable, functional display mask beautifully visualizes maternal connection, shared identity, and generational bonds.

Dimensions: 8" x 6" x 3.5"
