My first picture shows my infinity ring. This ring has been constantly on my finger since the day it was given to me by my childhood schoolmate and former best friend, Ella. Ella gave me this ring the day before I moved away from Chicago and she has the same one. I love wearing this ring because it not only reminds me of Chicago, but also my old best friend. I loved photographing this ring because it is something that means a lot to me.
Eggcellent
Pink Egg (Crystalize)
My second pictures show the egg that I dyed with my family over Easter. Egg dying on the Saturday night before Easter is a tradition in my family. Even though my cousins and other family members say they are "too old" for egg dying my younger sister always gets them to dye at least one. I chose to use it as one of my objects because seeing these eggs makes me happy and reminds me of my family. I chose the color pink for my egg because it is my favorite color.
Colorful Cross
Memory From Mexico (Mezzotint)
These images show a cross that my family came across one day on spring break in Puerto Morelos, Mexico in 2014. This cross caught my sister's eye as she walked through a shop of beautiful wood carvings and other Mexican trinkets. My mother decided to buy it and it has been proudly displayed in our home ever since. It was added to our cross wall , a collection of crosses that we have collected through religious sacrements, holidays and vacations. This colorful cross is my favorite in the collection.
L
On My Wrist (Mosiac)
These pictures show my gold "L" bracelet. I love this bracelet because it was given to me by family members and it reminds me of them. I often wear this bracelet on my left wrist along with my other bracelets. I love this bracelet because it has emotional meaning to me. Also it shows off my initial and matches my other bracelets.
Always
Bubble Cross (Pointalize)
My final pictures show my cross necklace. This necklace was a gift from my mother on my conformation. I wear this necklace everyday, there is rarely a time where I will not have it around my neck. I like showing my necklace in these pictures because they are everyday places and, to me, my cross necklace is an everyday thing. I also love wearing this necklace because one of my best friends, Kate, and my sister also have the same necklace.
