Okay soo here is my collage. I'll start off by saying the picture in the center is an airplane and the reason I put it there is because the cost of traveling is what's keeping me from seeing my loved ones as much as I'd like to. The majority of these pictures were actually taken in Mexico City during Winter break of 2010, just a few months back. The rest were taken in California, in Los Angeles to be exact. The image on the top left is me at Venice Beach when I had barely finished my graffiti art piece. I decided to put this picture on the collage because it represents my creativity and I am one always encouraging people to find some sort of outlet to forget about all the negativity they carry on in their daily lives, whether it be by writing, playing an instrument, painting, dancing, cooking, etc. Next to the image of me at Venice is a picture of my grandmother's tombstone. My grandmother played a HUGE role in my life and thanks to her I am the person I am today. She may be gone, but there is not one single day I don't think of her and the great things she taught all of us who were blessed to have such a wonderful woman in our lives. You can also see I have a few pictures of pets on this collage, reason why is because I love pets. In fact, I think I am more compassionate towards pets than people, hahaha. I also have a few pictures of my cousins, the reason why I chose to include them in this collage is because we are all very close to each other and they are my best friends, always there through thick and thin. I feel very fortunate to have this sort of bond with them because I know there are usually tensions between cousins and I'm glad to say it's the complete opposite with mine. I also have a picture of reggae artist Bob Marley because reggae is one of my favorite genres of music to listen to. This music keeps me motivated and I find myself able to relate to most of the lyrics, especially the ones from a song called "Redemption Song." I also chose to include my niece (top right) in this collage because I see a lot of myself in her when I was her age and we have a very close relationship, which I find funny since our family considers us to be "cold" and very "reserved." It may be true, but one thing I know is we are very loving towards each other which I love! Then I have a picture of my aunt and uncle (below picture of my niece) because they are the oldest and wisest aunt and uncle I have. My aunt actually looks identical to my grandma and she has many characteristics my grandmother had, so it doesn't feel like my grandmother is completely gone. :)
