Identity Collage
Made by Raisa Chowdhury, Kim Lister and Mauricio Cano
When introducing ourselves, we found that each of us had stories tied somehow to location--particularly our birthplaces, where we were raised, and CMU/Pittsburgh. Each of us also used a picture as our piece of media. To show these ties, then, each of us collected pictures that represented our personal qualities or things that were important to us, and then divided those into two groups depending on whether they related more to our home/birthplace or CMU/Pittsburgh. The former became collages in the shape of our respective states/countries, and the latter were combined into a collage in the shape of a scottie dog because CMU brings us all together.
