The works in the Masking series are set in a non-specific 1970s/80s era where many neurodivergent conditions went undiagnosed. The paintings explore themes of masking as a female. Girls in particular often face pressure to hide or change their natural traits in order to fit in socially. Masking can help avoid bullying or judgement short-term, but has been shown to cause long-term harm to mental health. The painted masks and hats overtly symbolise this, with the lone central figure separate from the party, isolated in their own mind.
