City: Baudette, MN

Brain Injury: Half a dozen minor strokes correlated to Moyamoya disease and a hematoma to the right side of my head (temple)

Explanation of Mask:
The black spots are my 6 small strokes that I had.
The gray side is from my rough times I’ve had.
The lightning bolts are the “sensations” I had in my head as the neurons were regenerating.
The blue ribbon is for my Moyamoya (which is what I have.)
The question marks are because of my memory issues I had. I’ve had PTSD and depression since my surgeries (also representing the black lips.)
My red eyes are from how much sadness/anger I had because I didn’t want to go out in public for a long time.
The gold ribbon is for my sisters and I bond strong, since we went through the same thing at the same time. 25 is the age all of this started. Drofa is the doctor that saved my life.
I had a ride in a helicopter.
And last I drew a keyboard because I had to reteach my left hand how to type after my strokes.
