The five key words I have chosen from my mind map are surrounding, music , art, photography and culture. Music is important to me because some songs holds memories, or it inspires in a way to create thingsand see things visually and also music is a big part of my life because I spend a lot of time around listening tomusic growing up and I’ve grown a love for music because of that and also helped me become who I am today in a way because of the different category of music I explore. Music has this effect of connecting with people or helping other people connect with one another, I’ve realised that a lot of people that I’ve met are through the interest of music and these are people from over seas sharing their music interest with me or friends close to me. Art is important to me because it makes me who I am I’ve followed my hobby of my interest in art such I was little because growing up there wasn’t much to do and I would draw or create objects with found objects and this bought out the creative side of me and as I started growing up I kept anything to do with art a hobby this has also helped me choose what I pursue what career I want to do in the future which is a graphic designer, my interest in art made me make a choice of leaving school at 16 and starting a art course to pursue my future practice. Photography is significant to me because I use photography to capture objects or anything i glimpse that inspires me, also it is other way how I express my self however I don’t capture important moments in my life through a camera because I think that being present in that moment and just enjoying it this a way of capturing a image using your memory. Lastly culture is important to me, the type of culture that is important to me is lifestyle, when I’m located in a place like the city it inspires me by being surround by different cultures.
