Brain Injury: Motorcycle Accident

Explanation of Mask: The mask represents the journey from my injury to present.  It represents the beginnings of life- a rebirth from Christ when he gave me a kiss on the forehead.  Then I woke up from that coma, and I woke up hungry.  The mesh represents Jesus Christ.  I was very lucky to survive my injury and when I awoke from my coma, I could enjoy playing cards again.  That’s why I put cards on my mask.  I lost my best friend and the leaves, like fall, are that part of my life.  The star on the mask is my rebirth- I am thankful.  The blue bird represents the good part of my life.  The red paint shows where I was injured, while the green ribbon around my mask represents my favorite color.  I added the gold to bring me happiness and I think it looks good!
