The Black Mask and the Silence of Light "The Black Mask – the one who hides his face in his own shadow, The silence of light – the wordless voice of the last dawn…"The Black Mask is a symbol of power in the dark, the anonymity of the system, or the deep self of man.

| The Black Mask and the Silence of Light |
The “silence of light” is the light that does not shine with knowledge, enlightenment, but is hidden.
The relationship between darkness – light, power, truth, identity – anonymity.
He comes when the dawn is still sleepy,
Wearing night clothes, wearing a nameless mask.
No one sees his eyes, but hears his steps,
Silent like a lamp that has not yet been lit...
A city where everyone wears a mask, but only the Black Mask is not named, as a taboo or a common fear. He appears whenever the truth is buried, and the light is silent, no one dares to speak.
A little girl hare decides to find the "silent light" to know who he is... "The silent light" is the unread words, the censored memories, or the truth that no one dares to tell. He is not a villain, but the inevitable consequence of a society that rejects light and is always covered by darkness.
"Black mask": a symbol of anonymity, hidden power, invisible mechanism (like Foucault talking about power existing through order without being embodied through a specific individual).
"Silent light": is the wordless truth, is repressed knowledge, or is the spiritual light - not shining brightly but present everywhere (like Heidegger's idea of "existing light").
