A Face For All Occasions

The dancer performs with a large animated mask. The animated face reflects the marble picture in which it and the dancer's body is placed it appears as if the marble comes alive within the face. The animated face appears to be a mask for femininity it is perfect, yet it is also twists and contorts and expresses a breadth of emotions that range from humorous to horrific.
