Rabindranath Tagore

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.” – Rabindranath Tagore

AFRICAN MASK

Traditional African masks play an important role in certain traditional African rituals and ceremonies. Masks serve an important role in rituals or ceremonies with varied purposes like ensuring a good harvest, addressing tribal needs in time of peace or war, or conveying spiritual presences in initiation rituals or burial ceremonies. The wearer of the mask is often believed to be able to communicate to the person being symbolized by it, or to be possessed by who or what the mask represents. African masks are usually shaped after a human face or some animal’s muzzle, albeit rendered in a sometimes highly abstract form.

The following is an African mask made out of simple materials found at home such as A4 size thick cardboard, poster paints and brushes, fevicol, round tip safety scissors, pencil, sharpener, tissue papers. This was an artwork that I did recently.
