The Emotions Under The Persona

Everyone shows fake emotions under social masks. But they also like to explore the real emotions of others. So I described a short story of a girl who likes hiding behind moving curtains, and uses a telescope to watch neighbor’s secrets.

This action let me connect with the similar action “when a child watch “kaleidoscope”, I use flower elements to express the natural emotions, and the changing patterns inside also are really suitable to express the different moods.
