The paradox of the Mask... Masks protect us and our communities from spreading viral droplets... and yet they seperate us from seeing each other's faces. We must all agree to wear the masks for this community initiative to work across culture, and yet we as a society don't actually have enough of them for each individual to wearer...and we certainly haven't found a way to circulate them to underserved areas of need. Front - line workers are forced to wear these masks through shifts, wearing the same mask over and over again, tiring out their supply. And yet, I feel thankful that we have a mask mechanism at all, that millions of masks have been made, donated, and gifted by artisans, alternative manufacturers, and regular people who wanted and needed to invest thier time and energy in supporting each other and to the macro community in which we all share...
