Item Description

Bid on this unique, powerful, exquisite mask created specifically for Unmask AIDS by acclaimed New York artist Alexandra Conn. 

Artist's statement: "This mask is an elegant statement on the war and destruction that the world focuses too much money and energy on. War and violence breed negativity and corruption. Guns, soldies, jets, snakes, and rats are some of the visual components - all made in China - crafted with LOVE in NYC."
