City: Fayetteville

Brain Injury: My brain injury is from six years of domestic violence.  He would bang my head on terrazzo floors, outer corners of walls and punched my head.

Explanation of Mask: Yellow is because he was a coward.  The Band-Aids on the brain shows how many concussions.   Blue-black is for the contusion on my brain.  The outline of the face is a puzzle because pieces in my life don’t always fit anymore. Lucifer is the fact he was the devil.  Tears represent I always cried and I was blue.  The “Be a Story Worth Telling” represents my story- I am a survivor! The “?” is “why.” The mask is a mess like my life.  My eyes are blank because I did not want to see his angry face.
