Q. Why do many masks look scary?A. Most masks do not mean to scare.
The mask's facial features are often emboldened (exaggerated) to represent bold ideas - ideas that can take your mind beyond the world you know. The Mask as Storyteller transports you to that otherworld of imaginary creatures, gods/goddesses, spirits, visions and dreams, or the funster world of 'political satire' (poking fun at serious issues).
Most importantly, those often misunderstood emboldened characteristics are really about making visible the hidden potentials that are within everyone. Making, wearing and sharing masks gives the opportunity to be bigger, braver & bolder than you usually are. See Making Sense of the Funusual on MASKS2GLOBE weblog.
