Summay
Himmat Shah created each artwork during the pandemic, and we join him in how he viewed this massive tragedy. Each piece of art, produced solely with ink on paper, reflects not only the grief we all felt, but also the hope and will to continue. The white cover represents purity, and the edges are painted in blue, symbolising the safety and protection that a mask provides to us. The abstract paintings convey deep meaning, each one being a meditation on death, survival and continuation. Under the Mask is a great gift to a generation going through immense trauma, unmoved by tragedy and with smiles under their masks.
