To me the image raises more questions than answers. It could mean so many things. I connect to it in the way that , when growing up, I wanted to be able to leave home and and get awa from the constraints of my parents. I couldn't wait until I was old enough. Now my granddaugther feels the same way. I know the direction I took and I worry about the direction my granddaughter will take. This is a great interpretation of the concept challenge. --skunk

Yes fragments and sensations of masked haplessness? Fading images but not memories grainy yet soft. Great job at looking outward from within Laurie. Can see why you have a thing with masks in this collage, seems like you are hiding from some kind of....
