Artist's Comments

While many minority groups are the target for prejudice... and discrimination... in our society, few persons face this hostility without the support and acceptance of their family as do many gay, lesbian, and bisexual youth.
~Virginia Uribe and Karen Harbeck

For everyone who must hide their true selves, even from those closest to them, for fear of judgment or worse. Though this picture pertains mostly to the GLBT community, the same goes for anyone who wears a mask. My heart goes out to all of you.

:aww: I *love* it... thank you!!! :glomp: This is so awesome, I don't know where to begin! I adore the model you chose- she seems so very dark and melancholy. The mask adds an interesting depth, IMO, when you look at it closely; it's pretty yet... misshapen, I guess, which is true of the masks people are forced to wear. They look good on the outside, yet are intrinsically flawed; it just takes a lot to see it. (Okay, that last point probably made no sense... sorry, my mind must be more tired than I thought. ^^; ) My favorite part, though, has to be the fact that you kept one eye (the one under the mask) dark and colored the other one in a rainbow pattern. Nice message there. :)

And yet again I have absolutely nothing for you; you're going to hate me sooner or later... >.< But I promise I'll make it up to you *somehow*...

P.S. You should think about submitting this to DApride. I think everyone there would love this. :D

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. ~Bruce Lee
