IN LUCHA LIBRE, THE MASK IS EVERYTHING: IDENTITY, POWER, PROTECTION. A LUCHADOR NEVER REMOVES IT. TO LOSE THE MASK IS TO LOSE ONESELF. THIS SERIES BEGAN DURING MANOLO’S OWN HEALTH BATTLE, A FIGHT THAT DEMANDED HE BECOME STRONGER THAN HE FELT. EACH MASK EMBODIES A FACE HE IMAGINED WEARING, THE WARRIOR NEEDED TO WALK INTO A HOSPITAL, RECEIVE A DIAGNOSIS, ENDURE THE WAITING, AND HEAL.
