Abstract
This autoethnographic essay explores masks and identity management during the time of COVID-19. It addresses the author’s relationship to masked television and film characters as well as everyday literal and figurative life masks which hide and reveal aspects of ourselves. It ends with a reflection on mask-wearing during the current pandemic and its emergent entanglements.
