Having to wear a mask during the COVID pandemic can not only be uncomfortable, it can also hide your identity. That might appeal to some people but can be unsettling for others, giving them a feeling that they are losing their identities, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. So, when Jorge Roriz, an artist in Rio de Janeiro, began to feel that way he came up with a solution: a face mask on which he painted his lower face. So lifelike is his work that it attracted attention and now he’s painting masks for others who want to be recognized while staying safe when in public.
