Image Description:
A mixed media representation of the artist’s life with brain injury. The left side is a collage of coloured pictures of the artist as a child and teenager, pre and post brain injury. Above the collage are the words ‘The Shell’.
In the middle, there is an image of a person with a multi coloured brain with the words ‘Life with a brain injury’ in front. Above this is the artist’s name, ‘Ciara’.
On the right side, the artist has written her ‘Inner Thoughts’. These are on a light blue (left) and dark blue background (right):
You “can” do this! / You can’t succeed.
You are strong! / You are weak!
I don’t need help / We can’t help you. Your not broken enough.
I am woman, hear me roar! / Oh no! You can’t do that. You’ll hurt yourself.
Don’t tell an Irish woman what she can or can’t do! / You’re too small
You’re not broken.
