You’re in 2.5D mode and your tool is set to the SimpleBrush. Your model (tool) is still there you just have to select. Also your model is saved in a Zbrush Project file (ZPR). Usually it’s best to save it as a Tool file (ZTL). It’s a bit counterintuitive and takes some getting used to. You want to save and load tools (models) from the tool menu instead of the file menu.

Read up or watch videos on the 2.5D aspect and the TOOL vs Project part of zbrush and it might make more sense of what I’m talking about. Tools only save your model. Project saves your model and Zbrush stuff and results in larger files and in most cases you don’t need the ZPR data.
