Artist Description:

This piece is a reflection of how my body felt post brain injury - fatigued, like I had lost the force that held me up and propelled me forward. I was left with a shell, a remnant of how I once was. I felt like I was falling apart. Of course, that needed to happen before I could transform into who I would become after brain injury.
