These pictures of the mask are great. From a composition side, I love the way they are organized, including the distorted perspective on the first picture, and how the body bends with the camera in a way. I also loved your choice of colors. The grain really make the image stand out.
The mask looks to me to be a very defensive mask (like a gas mask) it keeps things that are harmful out, while being able to stay alive. The green atmosphere in the second picture really gives the impression of danger. I guess when I look at this I try to think of whether or not the mask is truly helpful. Yes it is keeping her alive, but at the same time the woman is in the snow with barely anything on at all. If she puts all her hope for survival into the mask, she'll freeze to death. Like that, we often put all our hope in living based upon our immediate health...or at least what helps us quickly (which often is our social behavior). This causes us to forget the things that slowly wear away at us.
In the end, we were able to breath fine, but not for as long as we would have liked.
I also wonder what she is looking at, and why she doesn't rush inside and get a coat. Is it because she was told to stand there like a russian guard?
Reminds me of Robert Parkeharrison.

I don't know, just my two cents.
