Brain Injury:
Explanation of Mask: If you see my face, I look fine but underneath I have a war going on within my body. My white blood cells constantly attack my myelin, which is what you see in my hair. One side is normal like before, then the other is damaged; the coating of the wire is cut away to expose the bare wires. That is how the signals are disrupted from my brain to my body. My brain is like a computer. In an MRI image you could see a large mass of scar tissue. The scars make it feel like it’s broken and damaged; and that is why I cut my mask open so you could see the damage that you may not see outside.
