We saw these amazing phototgraphs at the Micahli Fine art gallery in New York. It's interesting to see how the person disappears begind the mask.

Love these to a deep and perpetual degree. So does everyone else I have shown these to. What a fantastic artistic idea across time and what (progressively more interesting, more striking, more perfectly) beautiful results. I've posted most of my favourites at my own site. Thank you for introducing me to this work.
