Raven Mask

Year: 2020

Material: ​black high-gloss taffeta, black shiny nappa leather, padding, black lining fabric (inner), elastic band, two black buttons

The raven – mythical messenger and guardian between worlds – became the symbol of this time: a phase of paralysis, uncertainty, and waiting for the next calamity.

The raven was not conceived as a stylized image, but as an approximation of the bird in its physical reality – each structure, each line modeled on the living creature.

The result is an object that does not simply rest on the face but merges with it. The raven appears less like a mask and more like an independent being – alien, close, almost alive.

The mask alters perception. It does not behave like an object, but like a counterpart. Something shifts – between animal and human, presence and symbol.
