Obscured Memories

After completing a Masters degree and beginning a new career, I was in a car accident which caused me to experience a severe traumatic brain injury, limiting my ability to create new memories, and sending my life on a new trajectory.  Years of hard work which allowed my brain’s neuroplasticity to create new pathways helped me to relearn forgotten skills and gradually improve my ability to remember.  Some of my life is permanently forgotten, some is only a glimpse of what I’d experienced, and some is clear and unobscured.  This artwork allows me to process these changes and find a colorful way of accepting my unforseen challenges.
