Mozdzen is a sculptor originally from Poland. She has studied to be a midwife from at the University of Midwifery of Wroclaw. Some time afterwards, she found herself in Rome, surrounded by art, and after a year and a half there, she moved to Canada and studied art at Beal Secondary School and then at Fanshawe College. She is now a full time sculptor/mask maker.

The sculpture of the human bust is a sculpture she made in 2011(no exact date). The material is I believe to be clay and then baked.
The mask featured here is from 2011 as well(no exact date). It is made of neoprene( a durable, rigid, rubber compound), then painted with acrylics.
