About

Name: Nate

City: Colorado Springs

Brain Injury: Occipital lobe injury from being ejected from a vehicle in a car accident

Explanation of Mask: I have always had a deep connection with the wilderness ever since I was a kid. I still feel it, I feel more awakened to who I am ever since my injury. My right eye on the mask where it is bright and a sun is the eye that is still able to see. The left one is blocked by mountains, just like Colorado because it is all just black/dark to me. The sky is red- sunset red- for my frontal lobe is doing well and not damaged. I have a greater passion for life than I had before. The river for me is speaking more the truth now, I am not lying anymore. I have stars in the sky because I have always had a profound love to go out at night and stargaze- it means opportunities for dreams to come true.
