This strikes a chord with me. If you ever have time to read my Acceptance writing on my Bubble you will find I have written, “Throw off the cloaks you have made for yourselves and just be who you are … falseness and insincerity really suck! :))”

yes! will go to read it now

DefyingGravity, 6 months ago

Beautiful Helene! It is unfortunate that so many don’t even know they are wearing masks. Even those who are aware have an uphill journey to permanently discarding them. This is an inspiration to continue that journey.

thx again ruth

Helene, Love,
This world certainly conditions us to ‘buy and wear masks’. Proud of you for this exasperated painting of those that surround you that don’t “have eyes to see and ears to hear”. People are taught to interact from their heads and not their hearts. THANK GOD, Helene….you speak from the heart!
Sometimes we have to backtrack in our lives to see the spiritual creative remedy for our defficiency of heart and voice. Got to do the homework! Got to WANT (INTENTIONALITY I CALL IT!) to do the homework!
I adore you, Helene! You are my hero.
I am so glad we share a heart.
Bless you.
XOXO,
Mariam

Fully agree Helene. I think however that we should also look deeply inside ourselves to make sure we are not using similar masks.

butchart, 4 months ago

Helen .. what a strong indictment of how we present ourselves to others in these times….i think we as a society are so quick to judge others that to many masks are the first defense in guarding their hearts…. i am learning as i journey my own path thatt i need to find my own aanswers ,,, my own truths… annd by calmly examing my deep inner feelings i am more able to shed my defenses…. for i’m at a greater peace with myself and therefore am no longer afraid of being hurt or judged…............ i believe many others are also finding this to be true…... the feeling of being alone leaves us if we are willing to reach out and embrace other people of spirit and truth…........ peace and light…........b

thnx so much appreciate ur comments always!
Mechellerene, 4 months ago

I think it’s a great representation. But we need to have grace for those who wear them, because we may come to find out it was us all along! We’re all on a journey, I think. For me…this piece is a warning and a reminder to treat others the way I want to be treated, and be mindful of my own tendancies to hide when I feel vulnerable, threatened, insecure, or whatever. Great job! Such an evocative piece!!! Oh…and also, not to get sucked into other people’s games…to rise graciously above it!!
helene ruiz in reply to Mechellerene’s comment, 4 months ago

yes!! thx so much!

I meant to “take” this one, but got lost in the powerful truth of your work.
The bold colors are a wonderful incongruity to the deep issues
you portray.

Congrats with the feature, my friend! Yes, it is frustrating that most people are hiding behind their safe masks, till you can’t REALLY communicate with almost anyone. And the masks seem to stick to the faces, till they become the person. Are we the aliens, or are they, who know the rules so well? It feels lonely, at times…
