Description:
Worn by people of various cultures, beliefs and backgrounds, the MASK has adorned the faces of these people through rituals, celebrations and entertainment. When the MASK is worn, its wearer takes the form of the spirit, entity or energy the mask carries, and can invoke joy, sadness, encouragement or fear.
The Mardi Gras mask's purpose is to fill the room, the streets, the city of New Orleans with bodacious energy and vibrant life. It is an invitation to come as you are, for blood does not make you family, love does.
Upon NOLA's face, the mask tells her story; rich with history, culture, royalty, courage and pain. A story no storm, no hurricane, no flood could wash away.
