City: Winston-Salem

Brain Injury: Stroke in 2011

Explanation of Mask: My mind feels empty sometimes. There’s things I didn’t want to, or can’t talk about.  The grayness represents some of my loneliness.  I was told some things are best forgotten.  Once, red was happy, before my time in the service.  My memory is inconsistent and unreliable after my stroke.  Anger and frustration are daily.  Yet, somedays I’m not bothered because I’m learning how to cope. Now I can adjust about anything.
