“Nothing is more real than the masks we make to show each other who we are.” - Christopher Barzak

     As a young female, I've been convinced that makeup is your go-to if you want to look better. It hides your imperfections, and makes you have a nicer look. Why would it be wrong to wear makeup? Well, because it hides our natural beauty. This becomes our "mask". We use it to hide our imperfections and disguise ourselves with having a nice even skin tone, bigger eyelashes, and more awake eyes. 
    
 I use artwork from Cindy Sherman and Barbara Kruger to show how they comment on what the media makes us believe. Cindy Sherman uses the idea of women with too much makeup on, while Barbara Kruger takes a more bold approach with striking headlines on her pieces.

    What a thought-provoking quote by Christopher Barzak! It really highlights the different personas we create in our lives, whether in social situations or online. Similarly, the world of vaping allows individuals to express themselves through various flavors, devices, and styles. Just like we wear masks to convey our identities, an online vape shop in UK offers a diverse range of products that let vapers showcase their preferences and individuality. From unique vape juices to stylish devices, it's a space where people can find their voice and connect with others in the vaping community.
