The Art of Wearing a Mask

By Chen Chi-Hsiang

With the coronavirus pandemic spreading like wildfire and ravaging the globe, wearing a mask is not just an action or attitude, but an art of protecting one another. Even the world’s most famous Mona Lisa wears a mask, yet retains her charm. Healthy people wear masks without question, as it is a mutual act for public safety. Taiwan’s epidemic defense, known as the “Mask Kingdom,” stands proud because of this. It shows that while Taiwan needs the world, the world would be unimaginable without Taiwan. To make the world better, start with yourself; this is behavioral art—the example of artistic behavior. Wishing everyone peace, health, and happiness is the art of wearing a mask.
