The culture that I have is a great representation of the ones that I love. For color I chose a photo of leopard print. I know technically it’s a mix of colors but it was my grandmothers favorite color. She would wear the color everywhere and it means a lot to me.

I selected a picture of a field of lavender. Purple has been my favorite color for my entire life and I will firmly die on the hill that it is the loveliest color to exist. It is calming to me, and the ways it is displayed in nature is very important to me. I am not someone that is deeply involved in their culture or any religion and I feel more connected to the people in my life and the nature that surrounds me. I believe that purple represents that. Purple is a blend and I find it calming and connects me to different aspects of life. I also find that it represents me directly and my identity as a person and the way that I express myself and my love for others.

This picture represents my cultural identity because I am a devout Christian and Easter is the day that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after he was crucified. This bright lime green color represents my community and personal identity because it is bright and strong just like my faith, which is why it also represents this photo very well. Jesus’ love and sacrifice for all of us was bold, just like this bright lime green.

I chose the first image of me and my family because of their impact on my cultural identity. My parents and brother have taught me almost everything I know, including my heritage and traditions I follow today. I chose the color blue to represent my cultural identity because not only is it one of my favorite colors, it signifies many things in my life. Blue was my schools colors growing up, so I have grown up wearing it along with hearing things around me from my community like “bleed Blue”.

I chose a Christmas tree because growing up I was raised in a Christian family. A Christmas tree has always been a big part of how my family celebrates the holidays. It exemplifies my family’s faith and how family traditions persist through generations. It also highlights the action of bonding and spending time with family. I chose blue because it displays trust, peace, and calm. These are all important Christian values. It reminds me of winter which is when the holidays take place which brings me peace and comfort as well.

The color I have selected is red, which is a significant color throughout Hindu cultures. In Indian weddings, red is often worn by the bride, as she applies red henna and red vermillion to symbolize her married status, as depicted in this image. The process of applying henna is prominent in many Hindu festivals as well, including Diwali and Navratri, and when I think of Indian culture, I often think of the color red.

I don’t often speak to people unless spoken to first, unless I am very close with someone.

I chose an overhead view of Chicago with lake Michigan. I felt the color light blue represents this image, mostly because of the lake's hue. I selected this image because I am from outside of Chicago, and my life has mostly been centered around the city. Whether it is going to the Navy Pier, dying the lake green on St. Patrick's Day, or skating around Chicago during wintertime, it seemed the city made up most of my culture and traditions. As for the color, it is primarily what you see covering everything in the wintertime (the snow), but it also represents the weather and the temperament of the people.

I chose red because it has always been around in my family and with my religion, Syriac Orthodox. Red always represents passion and faith, a theme found in cultures all over the world. It's a hard color to ignore and I'm so used to seeing it in church, during holidays and family functions, and ever Easter my family would make and wear bracelets during Lent made with white and red thread.

Green’s meaning of freshness and welcoming all align with how I would like to live my life like and connect to my love of nature.

The color that represents this image is red as red is a holy color in Indian culture because it is tied to Hinduism and it symbolizes a Goddess in Hindu culture. I chose this image because of the red emphasis over the green background showing the importance of the color red. It ties heavily to how red is able to purify against evil land brind in divine protection because it is seen as the color of a purifying fire.
