For this project, it was my first time using a photo shop program. We were given this project to create a photo shopped imaged that seemed to be impossible. What I did, I took my niece's face and put it as a Buddha head (I do not intend to make fun of the religion I just find it as art). And our project also needed a picture of ourselves. On the top, you'll see a picture of my Final draft. The Final draft shows my niece. Along with her, a Fennec Fox "barking" at her, with me clinging onto the fox. The fox is supposed to be my Guardian and is protecting me from my niece because the fox see's her as a threat to me.

This project we were making hand books about issues or narratives that connect to our identity. In the books we get to reflect on our identity and issues we feel the most passionate about. I chose to make a hand book about my culture and ethnicity. When people hear the word, "Pacific Islanders," they usually pin point to Hawaii or Samoa. My culture is neither of them. I want to share my culture through my work and teach others about my culture. All that I know about my culture and family.
