“I’m passionate about themed experiences that transcend a typical painting on a wall,” Mask says.
Though he s always had big dreams of creating large installations, Mask wanted something he could do immediately. He started out small, working in his apartment and experimenting with recycled materials.
“What can I do right now, with the materials that I have?” Mask asked himself.
From that experimentation, modest.museum was born. Mask created sculptures, which he installed throughout the city. His goal was to create pieces that people in the neighborhood could appreciate and stop to photograph. In the beginning, he was setting up and taking down sculptures around Uptown, some of which were removed by property owners.
