City: Knoxville

Brain Injury: Car accident, New Year’s Eve 1981 (student at U.T. Knoxville).

Explanation of Mask:  After my injury everything was random. That’s why my colors are random. Some of the emotions my family felt: helpless, hopeless, and frightened. I felt: Anger. Now I am focused on the task at hand- to get up on my feet again, and be independent.
