This is my identity based on items I carry everyday. The background is a picture of one Buckeye arranged and modified to cover the whole canvas. This way it appears there are multiple Buckeyes. The Buckeyes represent my hobby of OSU football and anything Ohio State. I also carry my phone with me. While it has so many conveniences, it often intrudes in my life. However, it does keep me connected with the world and I edited the image of my phone into a way to show the connectivity. Next are my NIKE AIR shoes. I feel like I am MJ when I wear them and feel empowered. It also represents my identity as an athlete. I turned one shoe into two and covered the NIKE symbol with empowered. My keys represent Access to the everything I need. I simply edited them so they are visible, however they are always in my pocket and never in sight. Finally, I wanted to portray my computer and school notebook as one. I never have one without the other. They are both valuable, yet controlling. By editing it the way I did, I think it represents this idea well.
This image leaves a lot of my identity out. As a Catholic, there is no symbols on me each day that I carry to represent this. I am also heavily involved with politics. While I did have symbols during campaign season, I no longer carry this identity with me during the spring. It is difficult to express my entire identity in one single image.
