City: Cape Elizabeth

Brain Injury: I had a stroke caused by a carotid insufficiency in 2016.

Explanation of Mask:  I picture what’s happened from the stroke as a series of trees, a forest that I am trying to get through. Some are small and easy to get around, some are middle-sized, and some are too big at this point for me to get around. The yellow is light and joy. The tear is for both joy and sorrow.
