Hi 19100,

It's a very engaging scene!

Its content is making my mind work... The title, along with the image itself,
makes me think this might be an interdimensional and or metaphorical being of
sorts. A jester, perhaps? The face is a spitting image of a theatrical 'happy'
or 'playful' mask. (The more pleasant of the main two, but serving an equal
purpose.)

A mask exists to hide a face.

In psychonautical lore, the One Being split itself into many different beings,
and all those beings wore masks to prevent the One Being from knowing its true
self, if only for a short 'time'. This was to forget it was alone. But every
once in a while, one instance would take off the mask and learn the truth, and
upon learning about reality, it would entreat the 'others' to discover true
reality.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into the whole image ;D

Sam
