$MASKS

Mexican sugar skull masks, also known as "Alfeñiques," are a traditional folk art from Mexico, particularly associated with the Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) celebrations. Sugar skull masks represent the souls of the deceased, honoring their memory and welcoming them back during the Day of the Dead festivities.
Artisans create these masks using sugar, water, and food coloring, molding them into intricate skull shapes. 
Colors used in sugar skull masks have specific meanings:
    Pink: represents the soul
    White: symbolizes purity
    Red: signifies life
    Black: represents death
    Yellow: represents the sun

These masks are a beautiful representation of Mexico's rich cultural heritage and the country's unique perspective on life, death, and the afterlife.
