To speak, or not to speak, that is out of the question

Mute is an action to muffle sound. It also describes a condition when a person refrains from speech or is temporarily speechless. Despite the effect of mute, openings on this mask allow the wearer to see and to stay conscious. This ceramic mask embraces fluidity in its form, colour and texture, and is an abstracted figurative transformation. It is also an extended manifestation of the artist’s identity and a reflection of his civic experience.
