Top Left: Earth(geometric shapes representing geophysical earth)/ Top Right: Water (water drops)/ Bottom Left: Fire (represented by lightening)/ Bottom Right: Air (represented by wing-shaped symbols)

each mask is a cutout that was painted then rounded out and glued by the "ears" onto the background paper, giving the finished work a 3D look
