She went back to teaching Spanish two years later, which are the vocabulary exercises on the mask’s cheek. The photo of Sherry and her husband Larry on the forehead shows a cruise to Canada they took in 2000. She was diagnosed with dementia in 2015 and is working hard to overcome it. The red around the nose and mask is her favorite color.

Gallery - Brad G.
Name: Brad G. City: New York, NY Brain Injury: In May 2012, I sustained a closed Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. I fell and the back of my head struck a concrete wall. This occurred, as a result of a structural collapse. A (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) DTI MRI, showed that I have a diffuse axonal injury. Explanation of Mask: My mask represents all of the INVISIBLE SYMPTOMS that I've experienced, since my traumatic brain injury. Respectfully, I wanted to help raise awareness about the invisible cognitive, physical and psychological effects of a TBI. It was created out of frustration, which was derived from family members, friends, acquaintances and strangers, who have told me that you look fine and there's nothing wrong with you. In this case, a picture is not worth a thousand words, yet, many words paint a picture. My rehabilitation process has included immense hours of vision therapy, speech therapy, vestibular therapy, occupational therapy, psychotherapy and cognitive remediation. Furthermore, the following words define my rehabilitation: perseverance, courage, discipline, motivation, determination, encouragement, support, understanding, humility, respect, dignity, diligence and survival. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Gallery - Emanuel T.
Name: Emmanuel T. City: New York, NY Brain Injury: April 24, 2009 fell off a cliff on a TV News shoot about longevity on Ikaria, Greece. Explanation of mask: There are skull elements because I have wished at times (and still do) that I didn’t survive the fall. There are a few words written by myself and that many have said to me. “You are so lucky” implies that I am happy I survived. “Hole” is because it’s where I feel I am in life. There’s a “W” and “Ass” above it because I don’t feel like an asshole. The “brightside” under the left eye and “roses” under the nose is because I’m sarcastic and it’s what people say. There’s a “?” question mark over my left ear because in my TBI, my skull broke and smashed all the bones in the left ear, which is explained around the edge.

Gallery - Steph C.
Name: Steph C. City: New York, NY Brain Injury: Loss of taste and smell after a fall. Explanation of mask: I am generally happy, which is why I choose gold. Sometimes I feel sad, which is represented by the umbrella, but the sadness is almost gone so the umbrella is blowing away. The dice represents the lack of filter for the things I say (not that I had much of a filter before) and the sporadic moments when I think I can taste again but then its gone the next bite. The otter makes me smile and remember why I went to law school. I missed out on some opportunities because of the injury, but I’m where I am meant to be and things are just fine.

Gallery - Angela T.
Name: Angela T. City: New York, NY Brain Injury: Traumatic, hit by an 18-wheeler while driving home from a Yankees baseball game. Explanation of mask: Angela 1 died on July 31st 2008 and Angela 2 was born that same night. My newlywed husband was killed in the car crash and I was flown to a medical center with broken ribs, a fractured scapula and C1 vertebra. I was a Glasgow Coma Scale of 3. Angela 1 was a VP of a PR firm. Angela 2 is a widow who sleeps more, gets lost occasionally and is more easily confused or distracted. The multicolored gap symbolizes the 6-week “beauty nap” (aka coma) where an old self was healing and a new self was emerging.

Gallery - Laurie R.
Name: Laurie R. City: New York, NY Brain Injury: Traumatic, hit by a car crossing the street two times Explanation of mask: “Before” and “After” intertwined. Film strips as hair = the past, family memories, creativity, ideas – like neurons firing + interacting to do. Straws = straight cockeyed straws sucking world in + straight out. Rapid, chaotic, too many ideas, too much – no mingling.

Gallery - Rendy K.
Name: Rendy K. City: New York, NY Brain Injury: Multiple injuries from a car accident in 1987, including a brain injury that was undiagnosed until 1991. Explanation of mask: My mask represents nature, the universe’s natural beauty, and other things I love. These features have been and are crucial to my wellbeing. Within the last 4-6 years, my brain injury was properly diagnosed and with the help of superb professionals at a brain injury treatment center, I was rehabilitated. On my mask are small representations of tremendous influences. There are many little stickers representing things and places that I love and heavily supported me during and after my “recovery.” However, as a person with a brain injury, the devastating experiences of having a brain injury misdiagnosed and inadequately rehabilitated for more than 20 years, is still troubling.

Gallery - Sonya K.
Name: Sonya K. City: New York, NY Brain Injury: I am the victim of a speeding hit and run (a limo which ran a red light) and sustained a traumatic brain injury. Explanation of mask: My mask represents life. I am very grateful – not because I survived but because my TBI gave me access to a unique experience. What does it mean to be a person? It means to live an emotional life and living with a TBI is emotional.
