Hi Miguel great photo the golden apparatus. Very beautiful and the fact the body is absent it seems to enhance its power.
Few weeks ago I saw a documentary about the Inca and the interesting thing was that in the documentary they actually talked about a previous empire in which people were the masters in working gold. Lambayeque Empire it seemed to be previous to the Inca and an inspiration in many sources. Golden masks after the image of Nyamlap (their God) were a cult for those who could afford emulate him.
I found this mask which is very much after his image.

These masks within the idea of an identity projected to the generality fascinates me. It’s not very far from the street wear you were focused on. In both there is somehow the desire to match, to belong somewhere and somehow, to be accepted, integrated and adored. To be one and all.
