Face Negotiation Theory 

The social contrasts in the general public shape the reactions to clashes in various social orders. The  hypothesis holds up the idea of maintaining a face according to their societies. The face is only an  identity. A face represents us. As the face addresses oneself in the general public, individuals show a  demeanor which is attractive to them. 

The mask making project helped me a lot realizing my inner self. While I was choosing the theme, I had  to think about many different issues. I especially found myself so related to the topic as I had to go  through the same issues in real life. So this definitely made me go deeper into my inner self and relate  my situation with these issues.  

Layout 

In our mask we separated the face by two parts, one symbolizes sadness, the other is angry. We’ve  painted two masks, one represents male and other represents female as we’re talking about a  relationship of love. We wanted to show the audience the situation as if they’re only seeing each other’s  angry faces but they didn’t see that they both were hurt on the other side of the face. Yes we wanted to  add some sticky notes on the board which represents some common violent act and the absent element  in a relationship. We mostly used black and white which represents the colorlessness of the relationship,  blue for social media conversation and red for the added broken heart. Yes we added a few texts on the  board . They’re the absent element of non-violent communication in love affairs. For example Time  Trust Respect Affection Mutual Understanding Responsibility Communication , these are the things that  are guilty for the violent communication between lovers. We added those in our board. 

Painting and Installation 

We used the color to match the situation of the two faces. We used a brush to paint the mask. Also  we’ve needed markers and rulers to make it perfect. Not but least we did use a human face as a  foundation of the mask. We didn;t use any kind of pigment. No, we didn’t use any printed image.  However we added a few notes which are hand written. Because we wanted to keep our project board  more realistic. No, we didn’t improvise our plan during painting. We created the mask as we planned it  before painting. So we didn’t have to change our plan. Basically we faced a problem while we tried to  paint facial structure on the mask. I was a bit sloppy at first as I had never done painting before. In our  opinion we liked the final result. It wasn’t that good what we expected it to be but still it was good. First  we’ve created the mask layer with the help of plaster paper. Then we used Vaseline inside it. Then we  waited until it dried up, and did watercolor on it. So that we can paint on it easily. Finally we painted the  facial expression and the rest of the board.

Mask Theme: 

Our theme of the mask is basically about the absent elements of nonviolent communication in terms of  love affairs. It is relevant to almost all of our lives. Most of us have experience of violent communication  in love affairs. Actually lovers do want smooth communication between them. However, it doesn’t always go that smooth. Sometimes we go through tough periods because of trust issues, sometimes  communication gaps are the reason for misunderstanding. In my personal life I’ve experienced a toxic  phase of relation. We did have a lack of respect for our personal life and work flow between us. Some of us  does have problem with the time management. When these element are absent in love affair, it ended  up with the lack of affection. When lovers deny to take responsibility of their own work, it increases the  chance of ending of a beautiful relation like love. 

Our message  

Our message is to end violence in love affair by using non-violent communication. Because when these  element are absent in love affair, it ended up with the lack of affection. When lovers deny to take  responsibility of their own work, it increases the chance of ending of a beautiful relation like love. 

Realization  

We all have personal problems in our own life. However its better not to introduce these problem in  love. Love is not that confusing when we use proper communication between us. 

Role of individuals 

Actually i(Shadman Sakif) did the report writing part and my team mate(Mrinmoy Kumar Shil) has  created the mask. Since we were not in the same place so we’ve happily decided to divide our individual  work. 

Conclusion  

Love is beyond everything. To conclude we must’ve to say that love is considered the most precious  thing we can achieve in our life. So we must manage each and every element in any relationship. We  shouldn’t accuse our partner directly before judging if we don’t want to put ourselves in a toxic war of  violent communication and also we should practice non-violent communication in love affair to spread  happiness.
