Brain Injury: Non-aneurysmal Perimesencephalic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Explanation of Mask:  Helping a neighbor, I was struck on the head by a falling tree.  My life changed instantly, I was hospitalized for 7 days, late I suffered a brain hemorrhage.  I’ve been learning to walk, think and do what we all take for granted.  I lost my wife, my career, my home, everything but dear friends.  My mask represents my pain, my struggle, it is how I feel inside, and the emotions I feel each day.  People say you look fine, my mask represents what my inner self looks like.  Yet I have faith, hope and will persevere.
