City: Hollis

Brain Injury: Fall 2010- Hit head on concrete floor.

Explanation of Mask: My mask represents a journey that started dark and confused. At times I felt wasn’t present. A lot of people said I looked just fine but inside my head was scrambled eggs. The glitter on the left side represents the feeling of the injury, there was a blood sac but there was no bleeding. Through rest and therapy over the years, I started to see the light and let happiness in. My journey continues, even though I still have past symptoms, happiness outshines sadness. The flowers and jewels are about how I do a lot of outdoor gardening, and I have a lot of grandchildren who are jewels in my life. The pink and purple are my granddaughters favorite colors, and I like purple as well.
