This piece shows five places from my life that have had a large impact on the development of my personal identity. It includes my aunt and uncle's house in Staten Island, New York, where some of my earliest childhood memories take place, my aunt's home in Germany, and my grandparents' apartment building in India, all places that have allowed me to connect with different aspects of my cultural identity. I also show my childhood home and the home where I currently live. All of these places have had a significant impact on the development of my identity, and this is shown through the red path that connects them all. Mapping this journey allowed me to reflect on the experiences, places, and people who have shaped me.

Creativity is expressing oneself without constraints or expectations of any specific outcome. It is allowing one's personal beliefs and experiences to be shared through more than just words, but also through different forms of expression.
