"Throughout mythical history, the wearing of “hooded cloaks” has been recorded in every period of time & walk of life; enigmas (monks, red riding hood, ringwraiths, etc.) of unique appearance, encased in a form of guardianship, where secrets & mysteries lie hidden beneath woven folds & veiled faces.

Cloaked in garments of false ”hoods”, our personalities “cloak” our secrets as well as our pain & powers. We speculate what lies beneath the mask of another, while unknowingly our image is just a sculptured reflection, a likeness most often transparent to others.

As an “observer” of a “cloaked being” sculpture, feelings of buried ancestral memories surface – a remembrance of shrouded times," quoting Ms. Parent's website.
