MASK

What is MASK ????? 
Usually the proper way we explained about mask is an object normally worn on face, typically for protection , disguise , performance or entertainment . Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial and practical purposes. They are usually worn on the face, although they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer's body, so in parts of Australia giant totem masks cover the body, whilst Inuit women use finger masks during storytelling and dancing

But in my way to say , mask is also a face that we can hide behind it or we wants role taking in the character we like . 
Not only that , masks also a good face to hide our expression giving mysterious and also hide your weakness with a mask .
