In this world, Man has created magical, mystical, ritualistic and playful forms who, at night, hide behind disguises, which Man calls Masks. He survived the Neolithic Age by creating agrarian and seasonal cycles, domesticating plants and animals, and shaping earth as his vessel.

For the perfect expression, this Man perfected the aesthetic features of the masks, personalising production. Depending on what the masks were used for, he would study their impact on the social group to which they belonged, adapting them to the various aspects of the supernatural and demonic forces, which he believed he discovered and came to understand. Thus he created a varied morphology between several cultures which multiplied. What is Man if not “multiple masks” with different expressions…
