About

City: Palm Beach Gardens, FL.  Accident happened in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

Brain Injury: Motorcycle Accident- was hit by a Navy wife that was late for a nail appointment in a large suburban.  3 years in a coma.  I was a nuclear reactor operator on a fast attack submarine.

Explanation of Mask: The red stripe represents my injury/mortality.  The sun and the moon represent how easily I can be happy or sad and how I have good and bad days.  The black eye represents how I can see things in a negative light and the gray eye represents how I can see things positively even on a cloudy day.  The nose bleed represents how money can destroy you if you let it.  I chose silver because there can be a silver lining even on the bluest of days.  I incorporated silver glitter on the blue side to symbolize the silver lining on the darkest days and blue glitter on the silver side to represent there is still bad times even on the best days.
