I didn't vote or even looked at the pictures of this challange but now that I looked at it I agree with posthumous.
I can't remember where but somewhere in the bible it is said
"they have eyes yet they can not see".
Ok, "censored" I get with the tape over the mouth, but the background is both distracting and does not support the message. Whatever is happening with the textures - something just seems to be off here. You've got this screaming guy...screaming about what? Because he's blurry and grainy for no apparent reason? An extra point for a good try and the benefit of the doubt on working hard to achieve a message; sorry, I just feel this missed the mark.
Interesting idea but I'm not sure this really seems like a mask to me. Also the harshness of the grain is distracting. Also I am not sure what is happening with his mouth, seems almost like a gag, or bubbles underwater.
