Mask
Masks represent the personas we wear, deception (others' or our own), and the hidden self behind public appearances. Wearing a mask suggests concealing your true self. Removing a mask represents authenticity and vulnerability. A mask falling off unexpectedly indicates fear of being exposed. Others wearing masks may reflect distrust or the recognition that people aren't showing their true faces.
