a rose behind the mask
In a school without spirit, in a dark and decrepit classroom a class is being taught, the students and the teacher wear white masks.
They go out to recess and the children don't play, they walk, they talk but static.
The casual finding of a suitcase containing a painting transforms them.
Access to art and culture transforms us; Life (the rose) and solidarity always above all mask.
