Perception Mask
PERCEPTION MASK
WASHE BISISA
(WASHE BISISA is a Sotho phrase meaning to look at a thing or event in many different ways).
The oval shape of this mask is taken from the Makonde (Angola) and the vertical ladder idea is Mossi (Volta).
The mask has eye spaces, their specific purpose is a reminder that we can look at events and life itself in whatever way we wish - positive or negative.
One needs often to see through different eyes. Perception can govern happiness.
