Una máscara es la cara que la imaginación atribuye a un dios. Su uso empezó en el Paleolítico y perdura hasta hoy.
La máscara se interpone entre el sí mismo y el mundo, tiene una naturaleza dual: mira tanto hacia dentro como hacia fuera. Puede disfrazar, cubrir, velar, mentir, captar, emitir, revelar, proyectar, proteger, negar, recordar, engañar, disociar, encarnar y transformar.
"El hombre es menos él mismo cuando habla por cuenta propia. Dele usted una máscara y dirá la verdad" Oscar Wilde.
