Here’s a simple explanation of the phrase

Anything can be used to make a mask,

Even words and emotions.

This saying means people can hide their true selves or feelings in many ways.

It’s not just about the physical masks you wear on your face.

Instead, it’s talking about how we sometimes hide parts of who we are from others.

For example:
Words can be a mask — saying things we don’t mean. It's common these days.

I’ll stay away from you because you’re not wearing a mask.

Behavior can be a mask — acting differently around certain people

Clothes can be a mask — dressing to fit in or impress others
