Two masks are juxtaposed and conjoined into a form of a helmet: one face that has absolutely no expression (a blank face) with another that illustrates a quizzical and absurd face.
What expressions will people make when they see one mask versus the other? The idea of this piece is to make a limitation on how much the user can see in comparison to how much the viewer is able to see. The blank face is in the front and the other in the back. The user is only able to see the faces of the viewer from the front, but has no knowledge of what their expressions are when they are looking from the back.
