Brain Injury: Stroke

Explanation of Mask: Mask is in 5 parts – 1st normal, 2nd stroke, 3rd aftermath, 4th finding out about stroke, 5th new beginning

The colors represent what happened and then all the things after!

1st – pink – gold (alive), silver (confident), light green (creative), purple (energized), blue (focus)

2nd Black – stroke (red), fear (green)

3rd Gray – brown (afraid), dark green (dread), orange (fearful), tangerine (scared), yellow (confused), red (anger) and (cheated)

4th pink knowledge, understanding, learning, beginning recovery

5th blue – gold (alive), purple (able), healing and grateful.

My mask is in 5 sections because that was how I felt for years until I found out about the stroke. Now the healing begins and the future is brighter.
