The overall message I was trying to convey in my image is the places that represent the memories that impact my life. For example, in the sunset background symbolizes that I am bold and a bright person who is passionate to be a successful person in life. It also represents the memory I had at Traverse City with my family and after we found out my mom was pregnant. Another example is the waterfall explains that any challenge that comes in my way just makes me a better person because I will fight back. That image also shows the first time I went to Minniosta. The white monument shows the first time I went to Washington with my eighth grade class. It shows that if I work hard, I can be taken to many more new places that I haven't been too. This image is a big part of me because I had fun being with my class and it was a way to say goodbye to middle school. The baseball field explains my first time learning about baseball and being at the Chicago Cubs stadium. This image is an important part image to me because it led me to love baseball and have a connection with the sport. The skyline of Chicago is another imagine I used in portrait because it was the first time I went to chicago with my friends. This imagine is important to me because I had a good time with my friends and exploring the city with them. The image on my hair is also a picture from Chicago that I took at the tallest building in Chicago. This image represents that further I go by working hard and reaching my goals then nothing can stop me from going beyond. Last but not least, the picture of my face represents a picture I took at South Heave. This picture shows that if you can see the detail, the sun is the main piece of the picture. Therefore I want to show that I’m a big part of our society because I know one day I can make a difference. In conclusion this is what all the pictures represents to me and the reason I chose to use them in my collage .
