Masks that people are wearing through their daily lifes are much more difficult to decode as the ones that they put on to go to some social event, where masks are part of the costume outfit.
This custom had it's beginnings at the carnival season in the 15th century and became more and more elaborate over the time. People discovered that wearing a mask may help to get away unnoticed from murdering and robbing somebody...something that works until today.
My little Lady here is ready to have some fun and for sure she's wearing a lot of different masks until, I'm afraid, even herself doesn't know any longer, who she really is...
"Life as a Maskenball"

“Don't you know that a midnight hour comes when everyone has to take off his mask? Do you think life always lets itself be trifled with? Do you think you can sneak off a little before midnight to escape this?”
