Honorable Mention
Faceability
DESCRIPTION
Are our facial expressions showing who we are and what we feel, or are we often using them to hide whatever we are feeling? Are we using them as masks to make the person who looks at us better at ease, or are we using them as a mask to hide from confronting what we want to avoid? AUTHOR
