Maya Mask

Going deep into thought, I sculpted this mask for the placement on the backdrop of  Dia De los Muertos Altar. I know that this day is a day of Honoring those loved ones that have passed in a happy, not sad way...Nonetheless, I cant help feeling the pain for all those who have fought for justice and unity, so that we may walk this earth with a stronger structure of  Knowing that life could be much more than just war...
War - “to bring into confusion”

"Doctor My Eyes"
 By Jackson Browne-

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
