Collage

How does this collage represent my identity?
     Everyone has their own unique identity which is made up of who they are and what represents them as an individual. My friends and family are a major part of my life and help to make up who I am. They are the people that have always been there for me and will be no matter what. I have learned from them and been through a lot as well. Every family is different, however, it shapes who you are and who you become. I also have many pictures from when I was younger and growing up with friends. I believe friends are a major part of who you are as well. My friends in these pictures I have basically grown up with most of my life. We have played together, gotten in trouble together, and have basically grown as individuals. The people you grow up with know you better than most because they were there experiencing your growth with you. I also put a picture of Boston and the Patriots because that is where I grew up. Boston is where I am from and shaped who I am. Everyone grows up different depending on where you are from. Living in a small town in the north gave me a different perspective than say someone from Charlotte North Carolina. However, I put the Charlotte 49ers because Charlotte is now a part of me as well. Every experience you have and the  choices you make shapes who you are.
What are the links between images and identity and our society? What types of images do you identify with?     Images are just visuals of who you are and what you are made up of. Your identity is so unique to anyone else because it describes exactly who you are. Everyone comes from different backgrounds, has different experiences, and makes different choices. Our society today, allows you to be a unique individual and whoever you want to be. Images are a way to express what something or someone is. Also, with images you choose what you want to show and what you do not. Every image holds a memory. Personally, I identify with Boston, because it is my home town but  Charlotte as well because I decided to move here. Every individual is different and holds an identity which is unique to everyone else.
