Epidemic of Emotions

Plague doctor mask with engraving of broken hearts

Beige

This item symbolizes how powerful emotions can take hold of a person and change them forever. The engraving on the mask reflects emotional states resembling symptoms of an illness for which there is no cure. It is an object for those unafraid to acknowledge the full depth and intensity of love.

Story

The mask is built around the idea of gradual destruction. In this context, love is seen as a form of intrusion - an external force that appears attractive but slowly displaces internal balance. The visual structure is based on the fixation of traces left behind after this deformation.

The engraving is perceived as a map of what has been experienced. It does not depict events or construct a narrative - instead, it reveals consequences.

The primary task is to capture the moment when resistance no longer matters. There is no energy left to explain, defend, or analyze. Only the trace remains. It cannot be erased. It stays - as a feeling, embedded within.

This mask stands as a symbol of what stays forever.

Symbols

The symbolic structure of the engraving relates to perceiving love as a process of emotional infection, gradually leading to internal destabilization. The central image shows the interaction of figures embodying life and death, tenderness and anxiety, attraction and destruction simultaneously. This motif is central, defining the perception of the entire composition.

Additional symbols support and expand this central idea by depicting specific emotional states that accompany deep emotional attachment. Among these states are dependence, psychological tension, emotional pain, and a sense of hopelessness. All elements are combined into a unified structure and arranged in a balanced visual sequence.

The textual elements provide an additional layer of meaning, emphasizing the internal experience. The words used in the composition serve as emotional keys to states arising in the process of experiencing love. They help the viewer grasp more precisely the essence of each symbol and the composition as a whole. Thus, the engraving forms a structured visual narrative about love as an emotional phenomenon that leaves permanent internal consequences.

Mask Care Instructions

To ensure your artifact retains its appearance and functionality for years to come, follow these recommendations:

1. Avoid Contact with Water

Although the natural leather is treated with a protective coating, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause it to lose its shape. If the mask gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry at room temperature, away from heat sources.

2. Protect from Direct Sunlight

Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the engraving to fade and the leather to change color. Store the mask in a cool, dry place, such as the gift box or a special case.

3. Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth or a special leather brush to remove dust. For heavy soiling, you can use professional leather care products, but avoid harsh chemicals.

4. Storage

For long-term storage, use the gift box in which the mask was delivered. This will protect it from dust, moisture, and mechanical damage. If the box is lost, store the mask in a soft fabric pouch or on a stand to maintain its shape.

5. Regular Inspection

Periodically check the condition of the mask, especially the fastenings and straps. If you notice loose stitching or hardware, contact us for free repairs.

Why This Matters

Durability: Proper care ensures your mask will delight you for decades.
Aesthetics: Preserving the shape and color of the engraving keeps the mask as beautiful as the day you bought it.
