City:  Mexico City

Brain Injury: Brain aneurysm resulting in a Fall.   Unfortunately I have to live with some problems with my sight, cervical spine and cerebral artery malformation derived from the aneurysm.

Explanation of Mask: The mask shows how I see my health. It’s a cluster of circumstances after my brain aneurysm appeared. It came unexpectedly through a hemorrhage. That’s why I represent it as a red lightning bolt on my life. I have 3 coils and a stent in my brain. In my mask, I show them with a yellow spiral. Some days I feel broken because of the pain, but other days, I feel better and I think the bad time will pass. That’s why half of the mask contains those good days that I represent with the ocean and a big whale as a symbolism of strength and freedom. Designing the mask made me feel grateful to God for having movement to do it.
