Guy Fawkes mask

The Guy Fawkes mask features a stylized depiction of a smiling face with a mustache, beard, and wide eyes, inspired by the historical figure Guy Fawkes, who was involved in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Originally used as a symbolic costume during protests and demonstrations, the mask gained international recognition through the graphic novel and film "V for Vendetta," representing anti-authoritarianism and rebellion against corruption. Today, it is often worn by activists and protestors to symbolize resistance, anonymity, and the fight for justice, transcending its historical origins to become a modern emblem of dissent.
