This makes every mask unique.<\/p>\n<p>My mask is painted with my favorite colors. Some patterns are painted on, which represent how I like to doodle. The mask design itself is based on Beijing opera, which I have an interest in, and the flowers are there in place of the usual headdress that some of the opera characters wear. The colors of the flowers also happen to fit the transgender pride flag, which represents part of my identity as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:20px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2025\/12\/IMG_8685.pdf\">View Project<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:20px\">\n<strong>How did completing your project help you explore the role of arts in the lives of New Yorkers and their communities?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Art is used as a means of expression, and I feel like this project is a good representation of that. If any New Yorker were to make a mask based on who they are as a person, no two masks would look the same. New York is an extremely diverse place, and this project utilizes art to reflect that in a way that was personal to me. So many different \u201cmasks\u201d and identities make up New York, and I think that, while we might just see people for their outer appearances, these masks are kind of a way to \u201cexpose\u201d our inner selves and replace the outer appearance with it, hence this project.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Group Members: Cereus Chen This project is meant to take aspects of our identities, such as culture, hobbies, and interests, and incorporate them in a mask design that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":94,"featured_media":3099,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"portfolio_post_id":0,"portfolio_citation":"","portfolio_annotation":"","openlab_post_visibility":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1029,20,32,67],"tags":[168,318,520,1154],"class_list":["post-3098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1029","category-csi","category-french-lisa","category-seminar-1-the-arts-in-nyc","tag-art","tag-culture","tag-identity","tag-mask"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/94"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3098"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3101,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098\/revisions\/3101"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/steam\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
