Identity refers to who you are, the way you think about yourself, the way that you are viewed by the world and the characteristics that define you. These things can be influenced by people, places and memories. Memories refer to things that you recall or things that you look back on in your past. Memories are significant because they hold knowledge about our lives and personal attributes/traits; they can also teach lessons and allow us to grow and learn. My completed artwork was able to communicate my ideas and themes because the close up of the eye, with photos of my family and other people close to me, represent my identity, who I am and why I am the person that I am today.
