If that’s what they’re made of, what about you?
Our Bayan community had an art project based on identity– Mirror Me Art Project. The objective was to add on to the mirror frame things that represent you. What are our interests? What is our background? What is our future?
Who are we?
Considering our main focus within these past few weeks have been identity, and mostly discussion about it, it was time to show it visually by having this mini art project; a relaxing day where all the bayanis get together and just be creative. It seems that everyone had an idea of how to create their piece.
What about me?
... I found it a bit more difficult than I expected.
Besides the artistic factor, however, I was asking myself, “What actually makes me?”
It’s a question I constantly ask myself.
I always found myself as a boring person, I don’t see anything interesting about me. Even if I did, I always think that I’m bragging if I say any “decent qualities” about me. Is it really? Most likely not, but it’s just how I am. Whenever I think about who I am, I always think the same things over and over again: a young girl who is most likely a year younger than everyone because she got promoted, yet that doesn't make too much of a difference because you’re on their same level; a daughter with a Chinese and Mexican background; someone who likes math; not the typical “average girl” and actually like “boy-ish” things like Yu-Gi-Oh!; and someone who likes to go on the computer daily. There’s nothing much about my future as of now, and my only good hobbies are probably drawing, dancing, and figure skating.
... It’s not really a lot, compared to other people. I shouldn't compare, but... it’s true.
Even as of now, I still have issues with what to add to the picture, but I don’t know. I’d love to put a lot on this project but... during times like these, I really don’t know who I am.
Hello Jackie! Your blog is really good, has a very good hook! it really got my attention because I used to watch Power Puff girls when I was young. Anyways, your topic is really relevant to our class, I really enjoyed the time when we did that "Mirror-Me Project", I wish I can go back times. Secondly, I want you to know that whatever you are now is especial, there is no one like you in this world because you are unique. Trust me a lot of people out there likes you just the way you are!
