How did you represent yourself?

I was sorta afraid to talk a lot about myself, I choose to represent a past version of me, something I wasn’t anymore.I didn’t really talk about family or who I was, making it hard for people to give me feedback. I’m worried that without me really wanting to put myself out there a lot of people maybe didn’t understand what I was trying to go for. Other people weren’t afraid to get super personal. For some people I was able to see what they were trying to represent quiet well in there pictures, there stories only helped clarified a few things.
It’s uncanny how much a single photo or piece of audio can strum up a lot of memories, even though some of us really didn’t choose to share them.

Artefacts work like that, they are meant to invoke a sense of story and understanding. Nothing exists in a vortex, every piece of media you put into the world is representative of you so it’s important to understand how your artefacts present you.
For me, I felt like some of my artefacts were to literal, they were of me rather than a representation of me, which is something i’ll have to be aware of in the future.
