Photos of a woman supposedly protesting wearing a mask to grocery shop went viral on social media.
Though some Twitter users were confused about whether the unidentified woman was making a statement for or against orders to wear protective masks amid the coronavirus pandemic, others called out the unnecessary need to create a “sad performance art project.”

the thing that pisses me off the most is that if you aren’t going to wear a face mask can you PLEASE STOP DESTROYING THE ONES THAT PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY USE???

Her apparent call for attention was also called out as many questioned the logic of the whole photo session.
She’s “making a point” 🙄

I thought I’d seen some pretty desperate cries for attention in my life, but this puts them all to shame.

it’s literally 100x less effort to just wear a mask like a normal human than to do whatever the heck she did

But this woman was apparently not the first to use the face masks in a “creative” way.

I like how in the first three she’s literally blinded to what she’s doing

She just has the feet of a 90 year old.

Can we all just admit that this lady just wanted to be practically naked in front of everyone?
— LB 🧑🏻🎨🌹☮️💝🔥 (@leslie_balanay) May 24, 2020
She should do a photo shoot wearing nothing but a ventilator.
Maybe in a couple weeks.

Many just seemed to enjoy the background people and images in the photos.
