I spent a good bit of time today considering possible options for the work we critiqued last night. I am not convinced that adding the black and white shapes in the head is a worthwhile option. The strip on the bottom may stay.
 I have found that some of the detail oriented stitching I do becomes lost in a gallery with large rooms and high ceilings. Working with the same iconography on a larger scale was an attempt for me to reach viewers from a distance as well as upon closer inspection. 
So the piece is a flat, graphic, silhouette.  Am I able to express some of the more uncomfortable ideas that I am considering and successfully convey this information to others? I don't know? A title and statement help. Can or will people still be interested if they do not know the entire story? How much is enough?

I think the black and white pieces are really interesting and help make the connection for me to the content. I don't think they need the whole story. I know you have personal interest in the subject, but I think a more universal title would be better. You want the viewer to have a personal interpretation.
