This is an exploration of self-expression through a mask that embodies all the facets of our life. "The Shimmering Veil" is a series of works filled with moving gemstones covering a face like a mask. This work explores the idea of how we often hide behind the highlight reels of our lives. We put the best and most glorified side of us forward, ever shining and changing according to the trends, just so as to protect the things we wish to be hidden.
