Brain Injury: Hunting accident

Explanation of Mask: My mask represents my feelings on how hard it is to accept that I had a brain injury.  So much of my brain was hurt so the emotions I feel are really all over the place.  The colors do not really represent anything other than showing the contrast in emotions I feel… confusion, frustration, trapped, happy, mad, sad, free, struggling.  Sometimes I feel completely like myself but others say I act a different way.  It is frustrating that I can not really see myself acting differently.  I feel like myself but then I also don’t feel like myself and I just do not understand why.
