Über das Buch
"Behind the Mask" is an independent photography project that was inspired by a growing awareness that we have been hidden behind our masks during this global pandemic. What began as a concern that we would forget each others expressions and smiles became an opportunity to look more closely, and to ask the question, who are we behind our masks? Behind the details, fact and figures of our lives. What do we care about? What would we share about ourself, if asked?
I asked the question to America on a cross country trip during the height of the pandemic. I began by taking two pictures of each subject - one with the mask on and then the mask off - followed by the question, "Who are you behind the mask?" I then included the subject's quote with their picture, whatever it was. From the cancer survivor in Massachusetts who wanted us to know that she is more than her diagnosis, to the man in a middle of a field in Texas who simply wanted us to know his name, the stories and images are a unique look at America behind its mask.
During the almost three year process of creating this project, I have found that regardless of our diversity and differing opinions, behind our masks we have missed each other. Behind our masks, we need each other. And because of these things, behind our masks, we are uniquely connected.
