Juxtapoz Magazine - Liz Hernandez "Poblacion de la mascara (Population of the Mask)" @ Jack Hanley Gallery, NYC
Briefly

Liz Hernández explores the power of masks in evading constraining identities, enabling the exploration of unknown bodies beyond the 'true version' of ourselves.
Masks with multiple eyes symbolize the ability to see diverse worlds simultaneously, granting a scattered gaze rather than a singular one, embracing various identities.
Masks offer movements and pleasures that strip away negative connotations, enabling the suspension of judgment, alteration of time, and the exploration of different narratives and roles.
In Mexican dances and rituals, masks facilitate communication between earthly and supernatural realms, embodying metamorphosis and complex characters in a realm inspired by folk art and ritual.
