According to Ralph Eugene Meatyard, the masks worn by the subjects in his photographs were meant to function like billboards— "once you get past [them] then you can see into the past (forest, etc.), the present, & the future," he wrote. In a similar fashion, Leslie Burns’ project "Frank" centers around a CPR mask, but the photographs also invite viewers to disregard their preconceptions of identity and consider the similarities between people.

"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, — all in one." — John Ruskin
