I titled this Mask Artistry piece “The Moment of Creation” to honor that fertile ground from which new ideas and circumstances spring. That moment can come about through difficulty or ease, but it's always born from a pregnant burst of energy to propel us forward, upward, onward. “The Moment of Creation” honors that precise moment of change and the creation of newness that follows it.
