The Mask

By (author): Terry Watada

The mask has become emblematic of the age of the Covid pandemic. It is also an important symbol of Japanese classical culture. For Terry Watada, it not only conceals and protects but also reveals the hidden truths of the wearer. Watada’s The Mask reveals a deep sense of grief, loss, and injury, and love of family. Employing vivid imagery and powerful language, he expresses the isolation of the times, the vagaries of old age, and the mysteries of the mystical.
