The masquerade series was inspired by the Venice Carnival.
The tradition of wearing masks refers to ancient rituals and beliefs. Wearing a mask was associated with a change in status or social roles. The man in the mask was no longer himself - that's why in Venice it was illegal to arrest crossdressers. Masquerades, masked balls and cavalcades were and are unique events.
