Artist's Interpretation:

We all wear social masks. The magic character of this transformation which allows us to become "something else" often creates ambiguity and equivocation. The metamorphosis of appearance cannot be sustained infinitely even if one is "what-one-would-like-to-be".

It is in surrendering our masks at a point in the infinite stretch of Time, that we regain our inner humanity and spirituality (bird).
